   @alchemistsstudio One of my favorite things to learn through my tea ceremony sensei is how many iconic techniques and pieces were happy accidents. I think we like to think of so many of these works as being the intentional control of master hands. They often are, of course, but they're just as often the result of clever screwing around. Makes sense, given the one-use handmade kilns and hard-to-control wood fires of the era.

     Introducing one of my creations.

     For me, this glaze whispers ancient coppery secrets. Can you imagine being the first potter to see this colour after firing clay wares over 5000 years ago?

     Whether it was intentional exploration, or a happy accident, we will never know!
