Pictured, are the three main elements of the process that takes a lump of clay through to a finished pot. Formed on the wheel, glazed in the spray booth, and finally, fired in the kiln. But the process is more than that. It starts the first time you sit at a potters wheel with that lump of clay. It's a connection with, and a feel for the clay. You need a teacher that can guide you through the frustrations and disappointments, getting you to the point where you develop some skill and your own technique. I had Terrie MacDonald do that for me and am forever grateful. Thanks also to Pamela Bailey-Brown for her teachings and for sharing her wisdom. So it's a long process and doesn't end when you take the finished pot out of the kiln. To me the process ends when someone actually wants what you made. That makes pottery a win-win endeavour. I get the joy of making the pot, and the joy and satisfaction from someone putting it to use.
Moligian fell in love with salt glazing the first time he saw the dazzling blues, greens and golds of salt fired pots being unloaded from the student-built kiln at Sheridan College, where he had enrolled and chosen . After graduating he set up a small studio in the Caledon Hills outside Toronto where he built his very own salt kiln and produced a line of fine signature pieces that earned him a good living and an outstanding reputation for well crafted forms with clean stong lines and decorated with the blues, greens and golds of metal oxides in combination with the pebbled surface of salt glaze.
