new 色と形を楽しむやきもの
Potteries, simply for colors and shapes
一般的に焼物は産出する場所の地名、そこで採取される土の種類、或いは使われる釉薬の名前、
特徴のあるデザインを考案した人の名前等が、やきものの名前の通り名になっている場合が多いようです。岡山一体で取れる土を使って焼き〆るやきものを備前
焼、美濃焼(地名)、織部焼(デザイン、釉薬)、辰砂(釉薬)などなど。 この度はそうした決まり事を考えず、作りたい形を作り、付けたい色を乗せて作ったものを何点かご覧いただきたいと思います。 以前から作り置きしていたものですから、ご覧になったことのあるものが多いと思いますが、ご覧いただけましたら幸いです。 There are several famous
bywords such as Minoyaki (region's name), Oribeyaki (unique charactaristics
that consists of identifiable design, patterns and color prodeced by a glaze)
and cinnabar (glaze's name) etc. There are also a bit
different type potteries with no perticular names that were created in more
freestyle mannar. I have created several
of this kind and would like to show you. Some of them are actually from many
years ago and I guess you have seen them already but if you enjoy watchig them
again, I am very happy. |
白い土を使って手のひらサイズのやや深めの抹茶茶碗を作ります。薄茶用ですから、出来るだけ薄めに作るように心がけました。
茶碗の縁を5等分して、人差し指を使い内側に押し、花びらの輪郭を作り、花弁の中央を再び押して切込みを入れます。 こうして茶碗の縁が桜型になったところで、一日乾かし、少し固まったところで、高台を削り出し、一週間干し ました。 これを素焼きして釉薬を施し本焼きです。釉薬はアメリカから調達するローズペタル、日本のものより明るくきれいな色には長けているようです。思っていたような桜色が手にはいりました。温度は低目で、1100℃で充分でした。 To create this teabowl, I use white clay and make a palm-sized, a bit deep bowl base by wheel throwing as the first step. Since this is for thin tea, I want to make this thin as much as possible.Second, I devide the brim by 5, put each of them in by my index finger. This whole shape comes to Sakura bloom. Then I push down the center of the bloom and make a petal. As the Sakura shape became fine, I leave it for one day to neatly dry and then trim the foot at the bottom, then leave it again for a week.After It 's well dried, I put it into the kiln to fire. There are 2 steps; biscuit firing and finishing firing. The glaze I use for this teabowl is called `Rose Petal`. I think American glaze would produce more vivid colors than Japanese one and this glaze is a perfect match for the Sakura Teabowl. I set the heat level of the kiln at 1100 centigrade and I got a great result as you see. |

I used Oribe glaze for leaves and acquired the design using pressing a flower design in intaglio.
The final temperature was 1250 centigrade. |

Finely rounded bowl by wheel throwing is then intentionally deformed with fingers and spurtle. At firing temperature 1250 centigrade, it was repeated four times. |
