WORKS(2021−B)
After formation, teapots are desiccated and set in the kiln. Of course, there is nothing much I can do during the firing.
There are only a few which turn out be up to my expectation, many are failure. But some of them turn out to be far beyond my expectation.
Although it is a repetition of trial and error, I feel great satisfaction when teapots are created.
Here, I would like to introduce some of my works.
I sometimes buy clay from other area, but as much as possible, for example by mixing it with the clay of Hakodate,
I try to use the local material for the production.
Judging of clay and firing is still the big challenges I need to work on.
