Defining My Pottery Style

Clay bodies:
Agateware, Patterned Agateware, Mosaic Agateware

Handles on cups are rare.

Wood firing preferred.

Slab seams are pronounced, usually with zigzags.

Glazes are clear, ash, or variations of Japanese Shino.

Decorations draw from Asian and Native American art.

Vertical lines are common but not ubiquitous.

Occasionally decorated with gunpowder painting or carbon scarring.

Simplicity of form akin to Shigaraki and Craftsman styles.

Only non-toxic metallic oxides are used.

Always functional.

Made to be loved by their user.
