Ginkgo - Tea ware - Switzerland

[David R.]

I could not agree more. Your art is becoming more and more spectacular. It is a delight for the eye and I hope soon a delight for my hands

See you !

Thanks for all your comments ! it is nice to read you all here and also to see what is new by the others ceramists : it is encouraging to go on and to drink tea too.
I started a reaserch on "white" with differents textures : mat, brillant, rough, bubble, eith nuances from white -cream-beige to grey and so on. It is just the beginnig .
One here :

Beautiful! And so complementary to the colors of tea.

Very, very beautiful ginkgo! Just love 'that drip'! And the color is really working for me, along with the glaze, the texture ...

Your works are very inspiring and I covet so many of them, I really need to have one of your creations, must get the captain of the ship to make it so.

I agree! seeing the before firing and after firing pics is amazing! I love love that blue-green-brown one!

I am working on a "serie" concept : i make bowls and glaze them and choose the number of that "série" . And then I select the one that i am really satisfied with.
The other of that "serie " are just broken.
Here, for exemple, I make 4 macha bowls with tenmoku and ohata glazes. We can see that ther is oil spot and some metallisation of the glaze.

First one :




Second one :





And the 2 others are eliminated.





Just here this is a very little "série" , with only 4 bowls at the beginning.
The purpose of that is to make some collection bowls that will be considerated like little sculptures . I am at the beginning of that process . But I do also others bowls as before !

From black to white !


Here is what we can call a " volcanic snow " bowl !
Just as the weather here in Switzerland : hot hot and hot so I dream of ice and snow .







(diam : 8,5 cm and haut : 8,5 cm / 2 shinos over ocre .)

Much of the nor'eastern USA can relate to the HOT HOT HOT and longing for snow and COOL! I get that in this piece!

[debunix]

Another beautiful piece, whose beauty I can even appreciate in my chilly office in Los Angeles, where it has been unusually cool and foggy the past couple of weeks.

Just had to say that for us in the Northeast, didn't you?

Hi, ginkgo!

You made to Beautiful snow so nice!
Here is crazy hot summer too.
Take care~

I just looked back through your thread, did I read that you are firing in a small electric kiln? If so, that just blows my mind. Beautiful teawares.
