    Aoarashi is one of my favourite Matchas' from Marukyu. Glad to see no Matcha was wasted :P Looked good! I would suggest boiling the water and leaving it for 5-10 minutes as boiling water can make the matcha flavour more bitter than intended. The chasen naoshi (whisk holder) is also good for ensuring your chasen remains in the same shape. So very important to keep it on there to dry out!

    That's so lovely that you're enjoying your work! It sounds so satisfying. Was that originally what you went to school for? I've been jumping between my career paths and trying to figure out ways to implement my photography with other interests (eco + interior design, styling) and recently been having too much fun building houses on Sims 4 LOL. Also, maybe the tile could be use as a backsplash in your kitchen? Or maybe somewhere you can see it right when you walk into your crib?

    When I first began ceramics I was, like you, deep into the learning curve. I thought about it constantly. I'd get up to be at the studio at 5am and the go to work and then later often go back at night. I think that is how we all learn. BTW. I just changed how I trim. I bought a fiberglass bat from the potter Hsinchuen Lin--who you probably know. The bat never warps and I can place somewhat delicate pieces on it and not worry about picking the piece up off the bat--instead just flipping the bat over once I remove from the wheel head. Also bought his aluminum bat with inserts and that too I really like. Looking forward to seeing more of your work...

    i have not really had a proper matcha, but one time i bought some beverage with matcha in it and even though it was rancid for some reason, i could tell the matcha had an interesting flavor...A couple years ago i did buy a packet of the "Patenger" brand based on reviews and my money situation. i never got to try it but it had a beautiful vibrant green color in a natural way......Yesterday i watched a video from "Veggiekins," who compares certain brands of matcha sometimes, and apparently she has come out with her own brand which she just did a video on. But in the past i've heard her say that Ippodo is / was her favorite, so i don't know how that compares with the matcha she came out with or the one you use.

    I loved this video! I didn't know about your channel until this morning and you celebrating your small wins made me so emotional! My progress with pottery has been reeeeeaaally slow and I was having a rough time accepting that I'm not good at it YET. Also, you made me remember that I used to love the gym and it really helped me when navigating loss. Although it's not easy and we cannot count on motivation to keep getting better at the things we love, being kinder to ourselves when times are hard really helps with the process. You are doing absolutely great, Van. Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us ❤
