Kusakabe Cube Tea Bowl demonstration by Euan Craig and Masakazu Kusakabe, coordinated by Steve Tootell.
And if you will be in Tokyo May 29-June 6, 2010, Steve inviting everybody for his opening reception party at French Restaurant “5 Watts” just 3 doors up from the gallery. He hopes to create a street party atmosphere with great wine, great food and great pots, I wish I could be there!
His functional pottery was created during winter break and then fired in Mashiko in the Euan Craig wood kiln during spring break. For the first time Matsuyama Norinao-formulated glazes were fired in the Craig soda kiln and the results are spectacular. Pots for every day use, primarily bowls hence the title of the show: “Steve Tootell-Bowled-out in Mashiko” . The results from soda and reduction with ash from the wood fired kiln along with the introduction of igusa (tatami straw) have taken these Mashiko glazes to a new level.
