Hi all. Hope everyone is relatively OK.
I've heard from a potter from London, Dorothy Feibleman, a nerikomi potter.
She told me to check the Japanese web site where she was interviewed.
There was very limited English pages but I found the page that shows
step by step process of Black Raku teabowl with photos and explanation in
Japanese.
You potters don't need words, right?

So take a look at this page. Enjoy. If you insist to read a particular
section, just send me
email, I may feel like translating it for you.

Can anyone make me such a gorgeous black raku teabowl for my tea ceremony?
