Sorry so wordy.
"Hake" (Robert Fournier)
Soft flat hand-made Japanese brush 1 1/2"-31/2" wide From hakame?
Hakame,
A thick white slip or Engobe used over a darker body of clay to provide a backgrond for other brush-work such as iron stains.
Hamada's bottles
I like to use a very thin coat of clear glaze, the white brush strokes in contrast to a darker clay are beautiful and I feel it should not have to compete with and equaly beautiful ash glaze.
Can't waite to see your results!

Hakame, Korean Yi period deco using a thick white slip and a course hakame brush, is decribed as a miniature garden broom.
Robert Fournier, quotes in his Dictionary.
"Leach recommends Pikes siliceous ball clay GFS.,perhapes with the addition of china clay and feldspar,though not to go to far with the additions to the natural clay will destroy the quality of the result which, to quote Honey'implies a principle fundimental in all the arts it speakes clearly of the process'.

hi simon, thanks for the vid. i too have been experimenting with ash glazes, trying to determine proper application to them to run just the right amount. would you mind recording your application of the glaze to this piece so i can compare? thanks!

Hi Simon, love your videos. Would it be possible for you to post a video every now and then of the pots after they are finished? It would be great to see the final product.
Hi Simon. I found your videos a couple of weeks ago. I had trouble in my production to a restaurant at the time so I was really down and had serious thoughts about quitting pottery and sell of my workshop. Your tips, easy going and positive attitude really save me though! Some of your tips made the production easy and other made pottery fun and challenging again. Thank You!
