Love the white of bisque ware. Thinking hard about what glaze to use...
Yesterday went a bought a new Canon EOS lens. 50MM 1.2. For photographers this is a lens with a very big aperture, great autofocus when you need it and sharp and crisp. Last night I went to the pottery studio and picked up this dark brown matt bowl. Had to take a pic in my kitchen with my new lens with the first light of the day.
Shino Takeda is a ceramicist working in NYC and living in Brooklyn. Shino is a studio mate who creates hand-built pieces that always surprise and delight me. And she does this with such ease and grace I continue to be amazed. Check out her work at her site: http://shinotakeda.com/ and her blog Shino's World. Here are some pics I recently took one quiet Sunday afternoon at Togei Kyoshitsu, the studio where we both make pottery.
And then be able to produce beautifully crafted and designed pieces. Hashimoto is based in Hokkaido, Japan and has made a bunch of great youtube videos of process and results. When I see how clean his ceramic studio is I want to cry. Then I see his ceramics and I want to cry some more.
