What an exciting, joyful adventure it is to use waste to make light appear...
A process that brings me even closer to the alchemists of the past.
I'm currently working on new glazes, using wood ashes.
|
|
|
|
|
For many years now, I've been keeping the ashes from the wood-burning stove in my house. I burn beech and
oak, as well as anything else that can be converted into heat 🔥.
The ash I obtain (while heating my house) is very rich and interesting because of the compositional diversity.
For example, for my never-ending quest for blue...
This goes completely against the guidelines of the great Masters (...)

|
Talking of Masters, yesterday was the birthday of the one who taught me this wonderful craft and art.
He transmitted to me vast knowledges and skills, developed over his entire life.
|
|
|
|
I was lucky enough to work closely with him for 15 years.
We became a true tandem, at the head of the Ceramics School that he had created.

Christian Coissieux knew the sky by heart, and his mind was often in the moon, the stars, the clouds ....

17 years later, he's still in every one of my pots, my successes and my failures. Thank you, Dad.

What exactly is a Chawan ?
|
|
|
|
|
What exactly is a 'Chawan'? From the Chinese word for "tea bowl", this is a highly codified object.
In a few words: the tea leaves are put in the chawan, and the hot water is poured inside.
The user contemplates the unfolding of the leaves in the course of 3 successive waters.
The criteria for a good chawan are numerous, and personal taste has its place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This winter chawan has been adopted by a taiwanese family in 2023.
|
|
|
|
|
My favorite criteria:
In addition to the aesthetic qualities, strength and stability, a chawan should be gentle to hold in hands, warm the
hands without burning them, allow the fragrances to be exhaled, have a pleasantly tactile lip...
I'll tell you more details about it another time ...

sincere wishes come true .... so don't hesitate 😉
