Four Tea Bowls

Kemp's 1-1-1 was used as the glaze. The cone six glaze recipe archives from which it originated ("Chit-Chat") were never allowed to be posted online at ClayArt listserve, so they were traded off-line and compiled by the users. At the time, posts about cone 6 were somehow considered to be disrespectful, but times have now changed. These bowls were fired to cone 8.

Iron in the Fire

Cone 8 electric, fast-fired. From left to right: wild clay red stoneware body, iron blue from "Bristol Nuka" glaze over red stoneware, and "Old Seto" glaze from the Leach book.

New work from Eric Hansen

Here is the local clay which is decomposed mountain material, quartz, mica, feldspar, fired to cone 8. It began to self-glaze even in the electric kiln. Other examples below include two pieces of true rice hull ash nuka iron blue, a well used tea bowl, and a new bowl with a gloss glaze Hansen is beginning to now use.

This piece is about the size of a shot glass.

Small but heavy stoneware bowl.

The glaze is called Hambone's 123.
