I could not agree more. Your art is becoming more and more spectacular. It is a delight for the eye and I hope soon a delight for my hands :D

See you !

Thanks for all your comments ! it is nice to read you all here and also to see what is new by the others ceramists : it is encouraging to go on and to drink tea too. :lol:
I started a reaserch on "white" with differents textures : mat, brillant, rough, bubble, eith nuances from white -cream-beige to grey and so on. It is just the beginnig .

Beautiful! And so complementary to the colors of tea.

Very, very beautiful ginkgo! Just love 'that drip'! 8) And the color is really working for me, along with the glaze, the texture ... :)

Your works are very inspiring and I covet so many of them, I really need to have one of your creations, must get the captain of the ship to make it so. :wink:

I am working on a "serie" concept : i make bowls and glaze them and choose the number of that "série" . And then I select the one that i am really satisfied with.
The other of that "serie " are just broken.
Here, for exemple, I make 4 macha bowls with tenmoku and ohata glazes. We can see that ther is oil spot and some metallisation of the glaze.

First one :

Second one :

And the 2 others are eliminated.

Just here this is a very little "série" , with only 4 bowls at the beginning.
The purpose of that is to make some collection bowls that will be considerated like little sculptures . I am at the beginning of that process . But I do also others bowls as before !

Another beautiful piece, whose beauty I can even appreciate in my chilly office in Los Angeles, where it has been unusually cool and foggy the past couple of weeks.

I just looked back through your thread, did I read that you are firing in a small electric kiln? If so, that just blows my mind. Beautiful teawares.
