Half to no-more-than three-quarters is good ... but must have 8" or more to slosh around in, 10" is probably too much.Moss wrote:The ones I have are going to be more in the 6-7" range. I will throw some though, like I say, I like the form. You think there should be about 1/2" for the ring? That would be enough lift? I can try a few.

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

Thank you Woozl! I like them too. I enjoy them a lot. Rough texture is important for my personal aesthetic.

Thank you Chip.
You will see a lot more from me soon. I unloaded our noborigama this morning and have about 15 pieces to photo and list on Etsy. (I say "our" because I so desperately want to be part of that community...)
Very good firing. I have a couple killer pieces.
Two though have lots of fly ash on it and are quite rough. Very rough. Are those just wall hangers or do you all use them?
Thanks also for the mention of the crackle glazes. I respond to texture in ceramics and don't have any interest really in smooth, regular work. I respect it and those that make it, but it isn't what I want to do.
In all my art I like the element of decay and change. I respond to usage and repair. I even do some and crack them and then repair them and continue working. It has meaning for me. I used to try and make crate and barrel perfect wares but once I succeed, I had to price it like crate and barrel and that is a loosing proposition indeed.

Iannon. Thank you. Please be tempted. :-)
Thanks on the glazes. As I have said to a few people here, you guys "get it" and I appreciate that. Cory's work. Colorado's, Joel's, all of it grabs your soul and inspires. I am lucky to be able to share my work here with these guys.

First wood firing pics
Here are the first wood firing pics. Available on Etsy.
Enjoy!
Chawan with koge-koge ash on face and interior of cup.
Yunomi with nice yellow glaze drip.
Clearly my best piece ever. Another bowl in the open form. Not tea related.

Just call me the delightedly happy new owner of this lovely MONK'S CUP!
Gorgeous variegated color, tactile texture, flecks of peach on the exterior... interior is just beautiful, like a rich granite. Shape, weight, and balance are excellent. This one is just slightly smaller and lighter than my Hagi and my texture/crawl from Joel. I am loving the variety and beauty that is developing in my yunomi collection.
Definitely pleased, definitely recommend... definitely need one of the orange-toned crackles now too! Thanks so much Matt!

Me too on the orange!, it's my fave color. Oh, and my birthday is closing in, I wonder what the Mod has up his sleeve, maybe a yunomi, kyusu, chawan,... the possibilities are endless ?
Nice stuff Matt, your etsy site is awesome.
