some more recent work
this week's batch of pots. the oilspot ran a bit (er, a lot, acutally) and my attempt to manufacture purple on the interior of the tea bowls failed (too much cobalt carbonate and not enough reduction). on the other hand, the temmoku came out damn near perfect. enjoy:
Planter/Cache Pot: Gustin Shino w/wax resist
Vase: Oilspot combo
Pair of tea bowls: Light Blue Matte exterior; Oxblood w/cobalt carbonate interior
Small bowl: Red Shino
Bowl: Temmoku

sweet!
(1) The bowl you call Temmoku looks pretty badass.
(2) That tree you're in looks real familiar. Near a pond? I think I have a shot of my daughter in teh same one..

keif: 1) temmoku is the name of the glaze. it's an iron-rich glaze, which gives it that luster and nearly black brown color; also the rust color on the rim. but yeah, that's the best one of the batch. 2) actually, that's on the grounds of blarney castle. but it is a big hemlock.
