Wow, you studied under Ah Leon
-- awesome! When I was at Northern Illinois University, I was fortunate to study Yih-Wen Kuo and he brought in Ah Leon for a demonstration...Such an amazing craftsman! I want to say he demoed the construction of an yixing teapot as well as his clay wood work.

That is some pink--quite lickable. It is making me think of titanium oxide without the iron found in rutile.

We loved your video, keeping it under 5 min really helps alot. Nice plate too. It should make a great canvas.

triangular shaped yunomi on etsy. this yunomi is fired on 3 sea shells w/ hawaiian keawe ash. nicely balanced in the hand, also very functional drinking at each corner, much like drinking out of a water pitcher.

i actually prefer more chunky yunomi due to the functionality. personally, my fingers are very sensitive to heat so i prefer thicker yunomi
enjoy !
