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.
