TeaChat

created by throwing 'doughnut' forms. i then cut the 'doughnut' forms and reassembled them. cone 10. teapot works, pours well. 38-inches long.

in ceramics, when u rush, bad things happen. when i fired this, i glazed and there was some moisture trapped in the handle. placement in the kiln was a recipe for disaster as the top of the kiln get hotter than the bottom. pop goes the weasel !

But this has not yet been destroyed by your unforgiving hammer!

Is there an adequate way of gluing - what adhesive would you use?

herb

hehe...

yyy.

i was thinking of refiring it. which i might do.

the soda kiln in which this teapot was fired, a flux or glaze in the form of soda ash/water is sprayed into the kiln at over 2200 degrees.

epoxy might work, but u'll be able to see the fix.

hmm.

why not just fire another handle and figure out some cool way of attaching it?

All of your work is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but that speckled yunomi is phenomenal. The black and the orange just go so well together that the spots almost look alive. It is like a woolly bear caterpillar in the form of a cup.

aloha from overcast but cool yokohama !

thanks !

its actually my hybrid of a ido / natsu with ido influenced food. a tribute to the korean potters who were abducted over to kyushu.

the chadamari is beautiful. sort of remiscent of "hana fubuki" or falling sakura during hanami. i need to photograph the chadamari.

nice to be relaxing here ! we had a splendid french influenced lunch after putting together some deck furniture. hehe !

i cant wait to head out on tuesday to Gotoh Bijitsukan. a preeminent museum specializing in chadogu.

aloha !

sounds like you are having a fantastic time, can't wait to see your photos on flickr!
