- A walkthrough of the Goldmark Gallery Tea Bowls Ceramics Exhibition goldmarkart.com
We’re delighted to present a walk-through of our latest exhibition of teabowls by 10 respected makers of the form: Japanese potters - Ken Matsuzaki, Ryotaro Kato, Shinsaku Hamada, Kazuya Furutani, Koichiro Isezaki, Masaaki Shibata and Tomoo Hamada: British potters - Lisa Hammond and Nic Collins and American potter, Randy Johnston. goldmarkart.com
Making a chawan - the bowl used for the preparing and serving of tea in chadō, the ‘Way of Tea’ - is one of the greatest challenges a potter can face. To be suitable for the tea ceremony, potters must work their chawan forms to demanding specifications: the bowl should be light enough to handle with ease, yet heavy enough to have presence in the hand; too thin, and the tea will lose its heat too quickly; too thick, and the bowl will feel clumsy and unwieldy, the heat failing to penetrate to the hand as it is clasped. - Навчання та стиль
You are well informed on the subject. Your tone is respectful but not gawking or overly impressed.
Thanks for your kind words
Gosh! what joy. After watching this vid I realise slowly the scales begin to fall from my eyes. I watch the European tea drinkers, self-conscious of an unfamiliar ritual and feel it too. I hesitate to continue watching then you draw me back in with such lovely detailed explanations of the individual pots and then the facts that many are a signature of the potter ,he can do what he likes ,there are no rules for self expression. Absolutely wonderful and beautifully presented, many thanks . I feel a little more enlightened today.
Thank you for your insightful comments.
So gorgeous tea bowls ! I miss Phil Rogers.
Hello from Japan. A marvelous and comprehensive consideration of the elusive "chawan". Thank you.
Thank you very much!
It's always a great joy to have a look at your ceramics! Thanks for showing us around!
I love how gently and respectfully you handle these pots and how you explain the details of each one. Well done! I hope to visit someday. Most all my favorite potters are shown in your gallery. I saw one in your tea ceremony in this video. Doug.
riveting presentation
Thank you. Fascinating. I always learn so much from your videos. Beautiful work.

H O W NICE?
Mesmerizing, like all your videos!!!
Are chawan always thrown on the wheel? Or can they be made with manual techniques (pinch, coil, slab..)
They are mostly hand built
Nice presentation, but please show the foot of the bowls and its signature. Print the masters name shortly for us to be seen in the movie!
Hownice. !
I wonder, as a lot of these are not glazed and quite rough, can these actually be used as Tea bowls or are they purely decorative
They are fired to stoneware temperature so fully vitrified. They will be fine for use as tea bowls.
If five potters made five chawan from the same clay could you spot the difference.
For sure! It would be like hearing five different people singing the same song.
perhaps one must assume that only in a wood fire, slowly over time, can a Chawan be produced. Time taken and captured, materials transmuted, revealed in the surfaces. ...So no electric or fast gas pot might be called Chawan...?
oh! Saw the lovely Doug Fitch there with your guests...how nice!

I really love and appreciate the aesthetics, but paying 2,000 British pounds for an item that's supposed to embody impermanence and letting go... give that a minute to sink in.
Hi from Japan. Haha! Well, you needn't consider it impermanent and "let it go" if you don't want to... Just the experience, each time you hold it or use it...It's always there again, you know ... ; )

@@mikeu5380 When the teacher points at the moon do not mistake the pointing finger for the moon itself. The tea bowl and the finger serve the same purpose. Paraphrasing an old Zen proverb.
