Ian Jones has been fascinated by the qualities achievable in long wood-firing since first seeing pots from Shigaraki and Bizen in the 1970's. He's worked with long "anagama" style tube kilns since finishing the construction of a 12 metre long kiln in the mid 80's. He loves the different qualities achievable in the different zones of the kiln.

Ian lives and works on a beautiful property in Gundaroo, outside of Canberra, Australia.
