Small red stoneware with white and black ‘hakeme’ and clear glaze.
Approx size: dxh 10×6 cm
‘Hakeme’ is a traditional Japanese technique, originating in Korea where it is know as ‘Guiyal’. The word means "brush stroke," and describes the distinctive patterns and textures when a white slip is applied expresively to a dark clay body, using brushes made from grasses and other natural materials. It is closely associated with Japan's tea ceremony culture - its rustic simplicity aligning with the principles of Wabi-Sabi which finds beauty in imperfection.
My glazes are all food safe and pieces can be put in the microwave and dishwasher. However I always recommend hand-washing for hand made ceramics. See‘Care’ for more.
Postage & Shipping: At present I only ship within the UK - see shipping costs. Collection from my Walton-on-Thames studio is FREE. Any excess postage charges will be refunded.
