All of the pots in the top row are glazed with shino glazes of various types. The pots in the second row are all salt glazed, except the fourth one in, which is wood fired in Scott Parady's anagama kiln. The pot on the right end of the second row and the one below it are different views of the same pot. The two to the left (third row) are pretty far back in my "history" but they are two I really like. Far left is a fake ash glaze, and second one in is saggar fired earthenware. (More information when you scroll down.) |

Every year from 1990 to 2000, the Napa Valley College Potters' Guild has had the privilege of being invited to participate in Cakebread Cellars American Harvest Festival. The festival is a celebration of good, fresh food, invited outstanding chefs, purveyors of all kinds of special food products, wine experts, food writers, with lots of helpers - and everyone is welcomed by the Cakebread family.
