Jomon
Jomon refers to an
ancient style of Japanese pottery
which has 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 pottery combines
the casualness of loosely thrown and textured pots with the best
qualities of wood firing.

Celadon Glaze
Celadon is an ancient glaze in which a small amount iron is used as
a colorant.
These glazes are usually transparent and vary in color from light
gray to deep green.
Celadon glazes are frequently used over incised surfaces,
where the glaze can pool and exhibit a darker color.
