Have you ever done wood-fires? If you have, then you are probably familiar with the green drips the wood ash leaves on the pots. *That*, is the source of Oribe.
...or at least that's what I vaguely remember hearing in university...
You should totally try carving!!! I bet you would do some AWESOME work. It's a lot of fun to just get in the "zone", and let your hands do the work, and seeing what you come up with. I would also be interested to see how it will be contrasted with your sculptural work.
I am not interested at all in carving -- I dont know why. I like sculpting in clay, because you add to the shape -- and of course, you do remove some also -- but I just don't "feel" it in my heart to do carving. I am too into clay right now, I guess.
I mean, I have carved designs on greenware, but that's about it. That was fun.
I like that glaze. I kinda wanna get me some~
I did actually make a few more carved cups and dishes. I've just been too lazy to photograph/upload them on to dA >_<
oribe is pretty indeed, though I can honestly say that I've seen prettier than this one. you could do recipe research and mix some~
trust me, I would love to mix glazes at some point in the future. Love to. My teacher's glazes can be good, but sometimes limiting. Someday, I'll make my own~
