James Lovera is known for exquisite forms with equally exquisite glazing. He established a place in midcentury and contemporary ceramics with his thin, flared bowls and highly textured volcanic-crater glazes that mimic plant life, lichen, and moss. Lovera preferred to work with a porcelaneous stoneware clay mixture and used a high-fire bisque technique to strengthen his pieces for the glaze firings. A black or brown slip was then applied to form a foundation for the glaze. Prior to the actual glazing, the pots were heated in an oven; the glazes were then sprayed on in thin repeated layers. Lava glazes are produced by off-gassing during the firing.
