Summary

The work is thrown stoneware and fired in a gas reduction kiln. The glazes — white, black, copper red and celadon — are simple and seductive, with an intensity that emphasises the form of the object. Spira does not regard his work as precious, it is made to be used but for him function is simply part of the dialogue between maker and user.
