Wizard of Clay's Gallery

Meet the
Artist
“Wizard
of Clay”
Jim and Jamie Kozlowski
Wizard of Clay Pottery studio is run by the father and son team, Jim and
Jamie Kozlowski in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. They use more
than 100,000 pounds of clay each year, handcrafting each piece. Combining
function with aesthetics, Wizard of Clay is a showcase for magical crystalline
glazed and Bristoleaf pottery, the Wizards’ unique trademarked pieces.

| Jim and Jamie’s crystalline glazes are truly
magical. Each piece is jewel-like and always a joyful surprise. The
beautiful forms and delicious colors of blooming crystals reflect light and
inspire an imaginative journey. Crystalline glaze is a glass surface on high
fire porcelain. It is composed primarily of zinc, silica, and an ingredient
called flux which allows the other elements to melt. During a firing, actual
zinc crystals form in the glaze, but those crystals rarely occur in nature.
Many things affect the size, shape and color of crystals: glaze formulas,
clay formulas, metallic elements that provide color, the rate of the rise
and fall of kiln temperature, the length of the soak at crystal growing
temperatures, the glaze application process and the purity of the chemical
elements. It is impossible to predict the size of the crystals or where they
will grow. Each time the kiln is opened, it is a surprise. Each piece is a
one of a kind treasure. |
