New Acquisition: A Golden Tea Bowl
One of our most recent acquisitions at the Museum is this beautiful golden tea bowl by Japanese artist Ogawa Machiko (b. 1946).
Clare Pollard, our curator of Japanese Art, writes: ‘Ogawa’s work is characterised by the raw intensity of its materials. Many of her ceramics resemble strange and wonderful mineral formations or archaeological artefacts that have just been excavated from the earth. Even this carefully crafted bowl retains an elemental quality, as if scooped out of raw clay. The earthy cracks and deep fissures of the roughly textured exterior contrast with the creamy-smooth, matte gold flow of the interior, creating an intriguing, powerful dynamic between interior and exterior space. This one small tea bowl encompasses a whole spectrum of moods.’

I’ve been experimenting with using more color in my slip work recently which led me to thinking about how I could be more playful three dimensionally. Here’s a vase (inspired in part by some Korean moon jars and Tang Dynasty incense burners) I made using two of my tea bowl forms joined rim to rim with some additions of pulled handle sections. These pieces are a kind of curious experiment at making new functional forms using techniques in my regular pottery practice. #ikebana #vase #moonjar #chawan #potterystack #assemblage #collage #cone6oxidation #functionalpottery #kickwheel #teabowl #floraldesign #spring #pottery #clay #ceramics #contemporaryclay #contemporaryceramics #contemporarypottery #contemporarycraft #instapottery #potteryporn #etsypottery #etsyceramics #minneapolis #minnesota #thrownandaltered #greenegg #newwork #abstractart (at A-Mill Artist Lofts)

pistachio, blood orange, or dark chocolate gelato? OR perhaps actually for whisking matcha? I make a lot of tea bowls with the intention of being used casually for your daily green tea but lots of other things too #chawan #teabowl #tea #icecream #cereal #yogurt #rice #chili #leftovers #slipware #porcelaneousstoneware #kickwheel #pottery #clay #ceramics #etsypottery #etsyceramics #casualmatcha #potteryporn #instapottery #sendnoods (at A-Mill Artist Lofts)

I’ve been playing with some new slip colors! Here is a preview of some new work coming soon. I need to try this one out to see how the color of the matcha pops against the polychrome slip finger wipes #chawan #matcha #teabowl #porcelaneousstoneware #cone6oxidation #siliconcarbide #celadon #glaze #cadburycremeegg #floral #koi #shibori #kimono #spring #sprung #potteryporn #minneapolis #minnesota #etsypottery #instapottery #clay #ceramics #pottery (at A-Mill Artist Lofts)

I tried to keep my slip work to a minimum on this Chawan to really show off the glaze (a soft blue cone 6 silicon carbide celadon) #pottery #ceramics #clay #chawan #tea #teabowl #matcha #kickwheel #porcelain #porcelaneousstoneware #cone6 #cone6oxidation #celadon #glaze #minneapolis #minnesota #teaware #chado #etsyceramics #etsypottery #pottersofinstagram #instapottery #slipware #keramik #茶碗 #contemporarypottery #art #contemporarycraft #contemporaryceramics # (at A-Mill Artist Lofts)

A little foray into a more traditional slipware approach with this most recent batch of pots! I look at English slipware often and can’t deny its influence on the lineage of potters I admire so I figured it would be good to try and make some in my style! #chawan #slipware #englishslipware #teabowl #matcha #polychrome #terracotta #redearthenware #earthenware #cone04 #lowfire #ceramics #clay #pottery #glaze #slip #tea #bowl #kickwheel #grog #minneapolis #minnesota #etsy #etsypottery #pottersofinstagram #instapottery #functionalpottery #honey #amber #contemporaryceramics (at A-Mill Artist Lofts)
