My daily practice begins with the making of four tea bowls or cups. While seemingly a simple form, the teabowl contains all the challenges I like: the pairing down of an essential lively form, comfortable feeling yet visually compelling, and a volume that suggests a specific liquid. Being put to the lip, the tea bowl is the most dauntingly personal pot one could make. It has the capacity to change one's daily life. In my household, the favorite tea bowls and cups never make it into the cupboard. Their life moves from dish drainer to hand to sink and back to drainer. The best ones always end up in the shard pile, for they are loved to death.
Having made pots now for about 30 years, I am surprised that it is still both hopeful and troublesome effort to make a decent pot. The parameters of pottery making require an acceptance of the confinement of utility. The qualities that I search for in my work at fairly straight forward. I am interested in a pot that does its duty well yet can stand on its own as a visual object. These pots are not sculpture, and they are not art. They seem to act more like engaging tools than anything else.
