Ballistic Ceramics
So I like to try different things when I make pottery. One of the coolest things I have tried is to use fireworks and actual gunpowder to blow up clay while it is still wet. PLEASE DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!, I don’t want you to die or blow your hands off. 😊
Here a some pics and videos of some successes and a few failures.
Success - 25 pounds of Lizella clay blown up with gunpowder and gas fired with a traditional Japanese Shino glaze.
This one sort of had too much of a charge
