My name is Ken Nagakui. This is an introduction about what I am doing in the wood near Charlottesville where my wood kiln sits. Although my main interest has been in painting, once I learned pottery, I wanted to do something about it. It was as if some sleeping Jomon (Japan's prehistoric earthenware and its culture) spirit somehow activated in me. My work is handbuilt and wood-fired. Leave your comments to Karematsu@aol.com
This is my kiln.
Improvised tea ceremony setting for kiln keeper.
When the temperature inside the kiln reaches around 2200F, from the firemouth to kiln chamber to the end of chimney becomes a continual single flame.
