Hey folks, unloaded the henko I made, inspired by the Hamada pot Angela
shared with us. You can see it here:
http://public.fotki.com/togeika/pots_from_mashiko/henkoham.html
Photo isn't very good, but I had to hustle it off to our group show
with our wood block printing (moku hanga) teacher.
If you click on next, you can see the pot on the
wheel and the photo of the Hamada pot.
The glaze recipes in American materials are with the photos
listed as comments (this why I shared the copper/sage nuka glaze
earlier.) Of course, don't lay down a henko decorated on the outside
with Nuka Sage and Mashiko Kaki and eat tomato sauced spaghetti on
it. It could possibly leach copper and iron. ;-)
Related to our printing teacher: not only is he
showing some excellent prints, he is also showing four terracotta
sculptures: a couple head studies and also a torso of a woman and and
a man. These were very nice, I hope to photograph them later. I
am really happy to know that terracotta clay is available here. If I
can get my hands on the right frits, I'll test Linda Arbuckle's
majolica recipes with Japanese materials and fire them in the woodkiln.
I also intend to follow my interest in French Jaspe ware, that was
traditionally woodfired.

Your pot is great Lee, the Nuka Sage so beautiful.
I plan to glaze one of my Henko bottles tonight at class
but we still don't fire anything but cone 6 .
I have a plan for the glazing but will wait to tell you what till it is
done.
I appreciate the serving tip, I had planned to turn mine flat and serve
sushi with it, won't do that.

In Florida where the kumquats are ripe, I have eaten so many today
my lips are raw. I have a fragrant kumquat cake cooling in the fridge,
it would be nice if you could come by for some with tea to celebrate
a successful firing!
