PADDLE AWAY

I was going through a file of photos over the weekend to send a few examples of a piece a customer was interested in ordering and came across a group of an Oribe style tataki mizusashi I made some time back. Having a number of photos, I decided to build a short video slideshow of the water jar that I hope gives the piece a bit more depth and shows some of the details in both clay and surface. I enjoy making pieces like this as I have said before, despite what plans you may have, once that paddle hits the clay, you get what you get and can guide the piece in certain directions but total control is out the door which in the end makes for a much more casual pot.
