Here are some more of the chabana vases, this time with twisty lugs, like the original Ko-Karatsu vase.<\/p>\n

Also, my yunomi have been selling slowly over the past year, and I’d not really made any new ones. Realized you can’t have a show without yunomi… Here they are just thrown and still wet.
They are just very basic cylinders that will be medium and small yunomi. Not very many yet, but it’s a start…<\/p>\n

Last are some guinomi that I made the other day with some cool sand mixed into the clay. After pounding some sandstone that I collected near Imari last year, I added A LOT to the clay body and it really got interesting. Rather than becoming short and un-throwable, it kept much of it’s plasticity, and had a very interesting surface when trimmed. I think it retained it’s plasticity because the pounded sandstone has a full range of particle size, from fine dust upward, unlike adding a specific mesh size of grog or sand.<\/p>\n

All except one of the feet are carved with dull tools. The one in the middle of the bottom pic wasn’t trimmed, but rather paddled to create a raised ridge to act as a foot. I kind of like this method but think it’s likely to look better with smooth clays. Having a good toothy clay and not abusing it in some way with dull tools seems like a waste of potential ‘gnarliness’. One thing to note: since the cups will be glazed with a heavy white rice straw ash glaze, the comb marks which look so overdone, will be covered up to a great degree. It’s necessary to make fairly strong markings with this glaze, because weaker marks and lines just disappear under the glaze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
