Enrich your space with Tenshin Juba’s Vessel. Enhance quiet corners, adding depth and character to your decor. From his hands to yours, let the conversations begin.
*
Alchemist-potter Tenshin Juba creates modern earthenware and stoneware from his home-studio in Kobe, Japan. Here, Juba creates in rhythmic manner—his sourcing of raw materials facilitated by the cycles of his natural world.
A combination of organic materials, such as rice straws and chestnut husks, are paired with ‘low-tech’ methods to catalyze a variety of results: smooth, glassy finishes and saturated, inky blue-black, deep caramel, or naturally-occurring platinum tones.
The addition of richly-mineralized water, for which Juba’s area is known, dilutes pigment-infused clay, transforming it into liquid ‘slip,’ a substance with which the artist paints upon the surface of his forms. Pure, kinetic gestures define Juba’s hand-poured mode of expression. A rake-like instrument of bound pine-needles pulls through liquid slip to offer a more intricate, pattern-like effect.
Vessels are hand formed, not cast by Tenshin Juba and entirely one-of-a-kind.
Made in Japan
High fire. All natural glaze.
