I am not sure if I had used this photo or one of the overall before but I was puttering around the studio and the light was just right and I was reminded of the neat glaze effects that occurred on the surface of this shallow wall bowl. Made perhaps at the beginning of last year in a series, I had hung this bowl up on the wall as an extra to an order and it has been there ever since. As you can see the area of temmoku is riddled with what would almost pass for oil spotting effect that is flanked with a tortoise style appearance across the rest of the piece. As you probably guess this is not a planned outcome but in some cases where the temmoku glaze goes on a bit thick it creates this texture when the medieval green is placed over it. As I mentioned this morning the sun caught this piece just right and I was immediately reminded; why is it I haven't made any of these pieces in a while?
