WHAT'S NEXT


Illustrated is a teabowl from a recent firing in my temmoku and tetsu-yu glazes. I have been trying to figure out what else can be done with the iron glaze, besides just dipping and here is one of my recent attempts. The bowl has been finger racked around the body creating intervals of thinner glaze, hence the vertical pattern. Now I realize it is still dipped, but it does have me thinking, what’s next?
