DETAIL

我相信每一塊陶土最後的型態是由陶土自己選擇的。土來自於大地,而大自然的一切都會回歸到最自然的狀態,一切都會腐化為土,乘載了這一切的歷史,因此茁壯。這些歷史在對我招手,邀請我謙卑的正視它。
我試圖賦予每一只杯子獨特的個性,包含捧在手中的手感以及就口時輕撫唇上的觸感。

我利用窯灰、好心稻農送我的稻殼及當地採石場花崗岩灰開發不同的釉料配方。這全部都用於做出一只完美的天目茶碗或重現志野陶落雪般的外觀。
 

“ I believe that each piece of clay chooses its own form. Clay is a natural source from mother earth. All of nature is returned to its natural state, it all decays and becomes clay again::a rich history of everything that grows and flourishes .

For his pottery, trying to give every cup its individual character, how it sits in your hand as you hold it, and how it kisses your lips as you drink from it.

Creating and developing different recipes for glazing using ashes from the fire stove, rice-husk from a friendly risotto farmer, granite dust form a local quarry. All to be used in research for a perfect Temmokuy or the fresly fallen snow look of a Shino.
