The Pit Fire Process is an ancient method still
used by many cultures, including Native Americans.

The Pots are fired at the beach in a dug out fire pit.
First the pit has a layer of sawdust. The pots are placed in the hole
with organic materials like seaweed, salt, and driftwood.
Lots of wood is then piled on top, and then lit.
It takes many hours for the smoke to penetrate the pottery and then cool.
The colors are always a surprise and can be truely awesome...........
Many pieces are broken during the firing
process as the wood burns and settles.
