About the Artist
My passion is to make pots which transcend themselves, which remind us of the smell of fresh rain, a forgotten melody, the colour of twilight. . .To make pots which become more than themselves.
And when I create such a pot, I bow to the kiln and say “thank you”
Artist’s Bio
Maxine Krasnow, a native New Yorker, has been making pots for over 30 years. She has studied with Makoto Yabe, Jim Makins, Ken Fergusen, Clary Ilian, Rob Forbes and her beloved mentor, Byron Temple.

About the Process
For the last five years, I have been firing my work in a Bruce Bower wood kiln. I stoke the kiln for 5 hours, with 100 running feet of wood that has been soaked for at least five days in a super saturated solution of soda ash and baking soda.
Virtual Studio Tour
Here is a photo of the Bruce Bower kiln I have using for the last five years. I fire to Cone 10 in about 10 hours and stoke the kiln with wood for 5 hours.
I hand carve some of my newest work with a small sgrafitto tool. The horizontal lines are done on the wheel when I am trimming the pot. The vertical lines are a meditation.
