This clay has been in storage, first time I’ve used it. Loving the texture created by the sand and grog getting dragged during trimming. #gaiwan #pottery #clay #tea #teaware #gongfucha

Some of the steps in my process of making a gaiwan: 1. Leather hard, still on bats after trimming the outside walls and lid edges/fit. 2. Greenware (after all trimming is finished and clay is bone dry) 3. Bisqueware (after bisque firing, ready for glaze) 4. Finished product, after glaze firing.

A gaiwan that I made for a friend, and a sneak peak at a new series coming this spring. 👀 . #tea #cha #茶 #teastagram #teadrinkersofbluesky #gongfucha #工夫茶 #功夫茶 #teaware #gaiwan #teapot #teaphotography #pottery #pottersofbluesky

The triumphant return of the Grounding Series. Set your alarm for Friday 11/29 @ 11:00 AM EST (8:00 AM PST) if you want one. There’s only 4 and they will go fast. #tea #cha #茶 #teasky #teadrinkersofbluesky #gongfucha #工夫茶 #功夫茶 #teaware #gaiwan #teapot #teaphotography #pottery #ceramics

Last of the fall collection going into the kiln. If everything goes well, expect a drop of ~10 gaiwans in less than a week! #pottery #kiln #tea #teastagram #teadrinkersofinstagram #teaware #gaiwan #gongfucha #gongfutea
