Fieldwork Travel Tumbler 001

Made during my residency in Japan :)

Wheel thrown travel tumbler with hand painted underglaze & shino glaze with natural wood ash.

Fired in an anagama kiln! This kiln is an ancient style wood fired kiln dating back to the 5th century! These kilns are built like a cave into the earth along a hillside to create a natural single chamber tunnel for the flames to move throughout. The firing process requires 5 full days of round the clock stoking with a team of 10 artists. Ceramics fired in an anagama kiln are known for distinct natural wood-ash glazes, dramatic flame marks, and unpredictable earthy textures ~ true one of a kinds! 

For the longevity of the piece it is recommended to hand wash with care. 

Approximate dimensions 4”x 3.5”x 3.5”
