Re: Today's MatchaWan :D (new name, but tea's the same)
I think I am going to cave and need to buy matcha soon, as I really want to take a Chawan made by me, myself, and I for a test drive. It oddly really catches my eye on the shelf, and I want to see how it brews tea. It is a bit irregular, but I think it ended up rather nice in the end.

You'll have to use an app, if only to resize the photo I think. I don't know if Tapatalk does it.Seeker wrote: (ps - anyone know of a way to upload photos from an ipad to TC, or would my assumption that that isn't possible be correct?)

Thx D, after my post, I bought Tapatalk, but so far, no luck.
So - I moved the pics I took with my ipad to my laptop and I'll upload that way. Here they are.
So here are two chawan from the show at the gallery. I think all the pieces at the show were wood fired - no glaze - all ash.
So amazing and beautiful.

Sorry that I was unable to share more photos of the above two chawan - they aren't mine - I took those photos at a show.
Here's the sibling of the "perfect" chawan however, that I did manage to acquire - used it this morning as you can see.
Matcha this morning is Wako. Cool looking chawan Cory.
Always love your sharings!

mmmmm.....looks very lovely, with the earth tones setting off that green so well!
Re: Today's MatchaWan :D (new name, but tea's the same)
Thank you D!
I was actually present when Gary threw this chawan.
His work is typically quite symmetrical (I shared two of his bowls on the previous page). I expressed interest in a more wabi sabi form. So there was a collaboration of sorts that resulted in the chawan shown above.
I think we might collaborate some more in the new year on more.
cheers.

Now that is just stunning!
I love that second image! (well both, but #2 is my fav)
Makes me want matcha right now!
Looks like Henriette?
Gosh - I just love your image of your matcha next to that stunning glaze.
Wow!
(and I think I spy an Ippodo canister back there)
