i watched video on tokoname pots they were using slump mold technique.
i still feel there is still much creative input, and still very much hand made.
many still value highly the the Chinese or Japanese, pots made with this technique.
it seems that most here throw and/or hand build pots
is slump/hump building frowned upon?
im total newb (3 pots in) to pottery an until i get a better understanding, plan on making simple slump/hump pots secondary to slab, pinch, and coil building, based on classic designs,with as classic an appearance i can get, un glazed.
call me traditional i think its important to have a strong rudimentary knowledge
?What readily available clay best approximates, tokoname or other classic unglazed bonsai pottery, along with firing info eg cone reduction, etc etc?
?what classical techniques/ ideals should be learned by novice? if there is a "miyagi" of pottery what would be "wax on, wax off" exercises?
