Pot
I taught pottery for 20+ years, making my own ceramics also. I always thought of this one as "my best pot". Standing about 30 cm high, I learned the technique from a renowned Korean potter Seung ho Yang, who worked with us for a time. A thickly thrown cylinder is coated with dry ball clay, then deeply scored. It is then finished by throwing using only one hand from the inside, opening the surface as well as the belly of the pot. Glazed with an off-white dryish glaze, rim finished with the Japanese glaze Tenmoku. I treid a similar method using slip made from clay dug from a ditch on my local golf course (I always knew golf must have SOME purpose in being), which was very iron-rich, with good results.
