Notes from the studio
What we're working on this month.
The discovery of beautiful things, and the craftspeople, artists and designers who make them.
A field guide to ash glazes
How wood ash behaves at temperature, and how to read the results.
Wood-ash glaze
What happens when the fire does the glazing.
The spoon carver
Green wood, a hook knife and forty years of practice.
Indigo at first light
A dyer's year, told through one fermenting vat.
The slow kiln
Three days of wood, ash and patience in a hillside anagama, and the bowls that come out the other side.
