Pottery Studio Life

The 2020 spring Mashiko Pottery Festival, 

which was cancelled in order to avoid the spread of the COVID 19 Virus, 

was open online from 29th April to 20th May.

The online pottery festival was great success. 

It was also very good experience for us. 

Thank you very much.

Euan is making pots, and recycling clay in his studio.

He is looking forward to share his new works!

Production in the Rainy Season

I'm sorry that I haven't written this blog recently.

It is the rainy season in Japan.
I'm sure that many people are suffering from the sultry weather.
My naturally wavy hair goes all over the place with humidity........


In the pottery production, however,
this is the perfect season for some product.

There are Mugs and Cups with handles, of course

But, especially Tea Pots and Coffee pots, with many parts, Handles, Spouts, Lid's handles, that are attached to the body.






If each part dries quickly or differently, joints will crack. In the rainy season, with high humidity, pots dry slowly and evenly.

It is a perfect time to make Tea pots!



Euan hasn't make Tea pots or KYUSU for a long time, and he has changed the handle design.



I'm looking forward to seeing the tea pots after the firing.
