You are both kinda right. Hamada made single fired work that was
slipped with a white slip, and glaze with a clear glaze that was
single-fired in Okinawa. He had this work shipped to Mashiko and did
the enamel decoration in Mashiko. The enamel is lead based.

Thanks Lee, for a followup corrective. I am imagining a future Clayart
posting where some soul posts something about Lee and Paul and Hank
having an active correspondence, though never meeting in person!
Perhaps at least Paul will be in Baltimore this week, and I can meet
one of you.

Cheers, Hank

Virtually yours!

It'd be great to drink coffee with you both. We just had
dinner with some potter friends in Motegi we haven't seen in a while.
When they ain't making their pots, they are building their new house.
I gave them a MacKenzie yunomi a while back, as a thank you for all
their help. It was gratifying to see his new yunomi, with Mack's
influence in them.

Frankly, outside of the classroom, zendo or
matsuri/bluegrass/blues/dancing festival, I prefer human beings in
Ones, Twos or Threes. Unlike my typing, I speak slowly, and when you
get beyond those number, it is hard for a deliberate person to get a
word in edgewise. Actually, they say it is difficult to have
individual communications when a group becomes larger than 7 or 8.
Individuals become a mob after that. ;-)

So, from the perspective of a shy person, the virtual has its
own virtuosity: Your words always go in, in the order they come out,
regardless of how fast you speak. ;-)
