Kurinuki teabowl, raku fired
This is very new work for me and this is by far the wildest teabowl I’ve ever made. I took what I learnt from Elena Renker in New Zealand (she showed me about kurinuki) and ran with it. It was really exciting to experiment and make this series!
I made this at the University of Oregon, where I taught a course on teabowls from the raku tradition. It was formed as a solid block by hand and carved in the kurinuki style. I added some of my Devil’s Playground granite to the clay to give the clay extra strength.
Once the glaze was sufficiently melted I pulled it out of the kiln and plunged it into a metal bucket with newspaper in it. This combusted immediately and choked the atmosphere around the pot. This reduction helped bring out the peachy tones in the glaze and the black of the bare clay.
I love how this glaze came out. It is peach and white and trapped black carbon in the cracks and crevices. I hope someone thinks they would like to have this on their bookshelf to keep them company.

I use USPS and UPS and send tracking information after shipping each order.
I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
