Jomon
Jomon refers to an ancient style
of Japanese pottery
which had a basket-like textured surface. Robert's pieces are turned on the
potter’s wheel,
then, while the clay is still soft, a small rope is rolled across the pots
surface to create this texture.
During the firing, glaze pools in recessed areas, and creates wonderful
variations in color.
Jomon pots combine the
casualness of loosely thrown pots textured pots with the best qualities of
wood firing
