These works were made using local clay and fired at the Johanna Kiln at Saint John's University, the largest wood-burning kiln of its kind in North America, fired only once every few years. This tea bowl bears the hallmarks of other works from this group, with its undulating edge, soft surface and gradated colouring producing a vessel that looks like a rock or stone that has been pulled from the natural world.
