The name Furious Fish expresses the intensity of the high fire pottery creation process, as well as our current situation, when nature is finally turning on mankind after centuries of abuse. Being human, we may feel more connected to other mammals ,but non-mammals are far more numerous and important to the biosphere. Furious Fish promotes human connection with less cuddly creatures like fish, insects, and trees. All work is created at Lillstreet Art Center 4401 N. Ravenswood Ave. Chicago, IL 60

Furious Fish Pottery is High Fire reduction stoneware by Hans Hintzen. The cup or other pot is first thrown on the wheel from Continental Clay Stoneware. It is then trimmed, decorated and handle attached. Next it is "bisque" fired to @1800 degrees F. Underglazes and glazes are then applied and the pot is glaze or "reduction" fired to @2300 degrees F. During reduction firing the oxygen supply to the kiln is drastically reduced, forcing the fire to extract oxygen from the pot, resulting in a permanent chemical change. Reduction firing transforms the clay and glaze into glass coated rock. High fire stoneware is extremely durable and is microwave and dishwasher safe, although I recommend hand washing to better preserve the colors and textures.
