"Hikidashi Kuro" Mike's New Black Tea Bowl how it's made

Mike Weber is firing in his red pine forest.

"Hikidashi" translates to "pulling out"from the kiln during the firing process when the temperature is extremely high.

This is one of the traditional techniques used to achieve the Black glaze tea bowl, known as "Hikidashi Kuro"

Look at that! it's glowing bright red!!

As it cools off you can see the darkening of the glaze.

And finally, the finished product.

"Hikidashi Kuro" Tea Bowl is so beautiful!!!
