Thanks David, Deb, and Petr.

Very Bizenesque, John! Excellent!

Thanks Chip. They are fired exactly as Bizenyaki is fired.

very nice!

Yet more work from my summer 2013 production in Japan. The last set were handbuilt chawan...... these are thrown in the Ido Style (Well type)... but not conforming too tightly to that model.

Beautiful John!

That's a great shape. Looks thin and light. Thanks for sharing!!

If you are interested in woodfired ceramics in general.......... here's a newly released book of 100 international woodfire potters which I'm included in:

Congratulations on your inclusion, John! Looks like a fascinating book which is even more so due to its focus on the wood firing potters such as yourself versus the subject of wood firing only.

I love the spiral in the bottom of this! gorgeous

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I'd like to wish everyone who celebrates it a Merry Christmas.

I love the textures (and colors) on this one!

Hi all. Realizing that I have not posted any information here in a good long while since getting back from working in Japan. It has been a busy fall and winter semester for me at the college, making pots, and had a few "life issues" thrown in there to take up some time.

Here's a new glaze I am testing for my Ido style Chawan. This effect is called "Hare's Fur". I think I am going to like this one.
