For years I have admired their absolutely luscious tenmoku. I was given
a large tenmoku bowl of theirs as a wedding gift 8 years ago, which I
adore. I wasn't making pottery then. I have come to love and
appreciate this bowl more every day.
I was in their store the other day, and sort of surprised to see they
still have a wonderful line of tenmoku ware. I say surprised, because I
was under the assumption dark wares weren't big sellers.
NONETHELESS.... does anyone have the recipe for this delicious glaze?
Also, I've grown very interested in tenmokus in general, and am looking
for recipes and advice. And yes, i have Nigel Wood's "Chinese glazes"
book, which I cherish.
