How do we purchase/get involved?

I post the official topic, then there will be at least a 3 day wait, there will be a full explanation of how this TA SO will run along with photos, specs and prices of all the pieces.

The actual sale will go "live" at a set time that will also be announced at least 3 days prior.

The actual ordering will be via PM to your friendly TC Moderator. Payment details have yet to be finalized.

If you want to view a past TA SO, you can check out this tipic, although most of the photos were deleted as items were sold. http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 04#p162104

Looking forward to this one - I have always admired Petr's works.

It is very important that members do NOT contact Petr during this phase!!! PLEASE let him create undisturbed. If he wants to, he will post some updates ... and/or I will for him. He has a lot of creating and work to accomplish for this TA SO.

Whoops.

A couple of days ago, before your post and as I was closing out the sale of my other Petr Novak items, I slyly inquired about his SO. You'll be happy to hear that he refused to let the cat out of the bag.

I was not aware that TeawareArtisans were trainable!

Some BD gifts received recently from the Mrs. Unfortunately a recent computer virus has knocked out my ability to get photos from my camera. Til then PetrPictures will have to do.

Petr made this Kyusu as a special order. I am thrilled with it. It is very functional and feels really nice in hand. The handle is my handle of choice currently for smaller kyusu. I like it for 4 ounce steeps, 120 ml. I did not want it to match the cups ... wanted it different which he accomplished!


Cups picked from his available now pages. Perfect size!


And a gyokuro shiboridashi set also picked from his available now. I really like each piece and they work together perfectly. The set also included a yuzamashi. The shiboridashi holds 3 ounces, 90 ml.

And the long awaited Petr TA SO is almost here! Look for anouncements here of when this will go live. Also look for the prelim topic here: http://www.teachat.com/viewforum.php?f=66

Petr has done some amazing works for this TA SO, I am certain you will agree when you see.

And the TA SO is now live here:

I just wrote in praise of my lovely new Kyusu from the TC special offer over in the SO topic here. Because I couldn't stop taking pictures of it, I'll share a few more here:


Kyusu by debunix, on Flickr



The first group to get a workout today: kyusu, yuzamashi, here used as a pitcher as the kyusu holds a bit more than the cup, and a cup



They look great together and feel good in use, and add to the pleasure of the tea.

That's enough for tonight, but I have more pictures for later.

Thank you Debunix for such pictures. It would be great to have you here after each firing -to take pictures with your camera

Here you can see one of the teapots from SO serie which didn't survive the firing-actualy there is crack on the body but it works anyway so I can keep it for mayself...

You can aslo see few pictures from the last firing on my blog : http://potsandtea.blogspot.com/

I'd love to come see your kiln after a firing and shoot the lovely teawares. It would be especially fantastic to come and do a shoot of some pieces at different stages--from clay being prepared for the wheel to the final firing. I love the shot in the SO topic of the kyusus lined up like the clay army soldiers from an ancient tomb....

[Petr Novák]

Ok, Debunix. You are oficialy invited to our place- just let us know when you will have air ticket and we will arange the rest:)

I Just (ok, few days ago) posted new post on my blog. Enjoy. http://potsandtea.blogspot.com/

My recent shipment included a dramatic large bowl, so pretty from every angle that I'm going to show a few more of the many pictures I took of it in this topic too.







The clay is coarse but the walls are remarkably thin, and the whole is very light. The subtle shine of the shino is just gorgeous.
