Frozen moment

A trapped piece piece of atmosphere, a frozen moment in time 

Spheres of airs whomst prespence causes textures that are simply sublime 

Like a bursting can of lemonade paused in a moment 

The bubbles provide a striking visual component 

It's a reminder of the transient nature of glaze

While at high heats its the honey that drips down clays 

As the kiln soaks above a thousand degrees gases crawl out of oxide chains 

Its this chemical release, followed by cooling that causes glaze’s bubbling terrains 

In that frothing cauldron of the kilns heat,

Is where these crystallised forms are made complete 

If I could offer you a piece of advice

Its to release gases and ensnare in a prism of silicate ice 

Learn the processes ,put in the work and pay the price 

For while you might lose sleep and kilns shelves the results are more than just nice

They are stunning, gorgeous and deserve to be praised 

For when those shining orbs rain down into streams of glaze

We remain transfixed, we are left simply amazed.

Eyes on the back
