Slow Motion Vacuum Dunk Glazing of Cup
Watch fluid dynamics at work as a cup is vacuum dunked in glaze. This technique makes glazing more efficient. Amaco LG 10 fires clear, but contains a red dye to help with visibility in application.
White Pots
A quick look into Ayumi Horie's studio practice. Using porcelain, she shows how to dry throw bowls, plates, a match striker, and applies decals to pottery. She talks about the importance of touch and the haptic in life and what it means to make slow pots. Ceramic jokes included!

Ramen Making
Making ramen, making pots- potter Ayumi Horie describes the process of designing and pressing ramen bowls, raising questions about the nature of industrial and handmade processes. How does creativity run across disciplines and how can a machine contribute warmth to an object. Ayumi also introduces Menbachi Bozu, Noodle Boy Bowl, a mischievous yōkai specific to the pottery studio, who breaks and warps pots in the middle of the night.
