Woodfired Kyusu (2) by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approximate measurements: 12cm H x 18cm ø (incl. handle), 500ml

An excellent woodfired stoneware Kyusu. Crafted with great skill and consideration, excellent pour,  balanced weight and proportion. The surface is toasted from the firing with touches of fly ash highlighting the natural beauty of the clay in such warming tones. Full of complex Dartmoor granite inclusions creating an interesting speckling, soft shine and smooth, tactile feel. Finished with an amazing ash liner with a fine crackle, filtered spout, deep walled lid and comfortable handle. 

One off piece. Handwash recommended.

Based in North Pembrokeshire, producing work from her home studio. Linda is a self taught potter, who enjoys the meditative experience that’s created by working with such natural elements as raw clay, glazes and the rhythm of her momentum wheel. Producing beautiful wood fired ceramics that really highlight this long process leaving visible traces of flame flashes and fly ash on her pots. Her approach to the form and style of her work is inspired by her natural surroundings and informed by Eastern aesthetics through traditional Japanese & Korean pottery and philosophy and her love of tea drinking.
