Kristine focuses on two alternative firing techniques to achieve the complex, unique finishes that mark her work. By Saggar firing in a pit, each piece develops an individual organic design depending on the seasonal variations in available materials and firing conditions. In contrast, Raku firing produces bright, colourful pieces individually marked by the smoke creating patterns. By burnishing her vessels to a very smooth finish, not only are her pieces eye-catching, they are also wonderfully tactile.
