If that didn't get warped some where along the line, well that's pretty impressive!!! Has to be a fairly large kiln?
Wow.
Wow.

Roy is the man! I had an idea for a composition and immediately contacted Roy. The difference here is that I made a sketch and sent it to him. I did not want to be too prescriptive and let him chose the glaze and any other artistic nuance he wanted to bring into it. I wanted to make this more a collaborative effort since I really like and respect Roy's artistic sensibility as a potter. He later surprised me with adding the "M5" right next to his signature. He told me that if it was good enough for Aiba Koyo to do it for Hiroshi Takeyama at Fuyo-en, then it was certainly good enough for him.

Yes, indeed that was a big challenge. I think it was a nail biting time for both while he fired the pot. No cracks with some minor warping which is to be expected with something this long. Don't know how he pulled that off but he did it somehow.
I am proud to say that I believe he bought a brand new kiln for this project. Nothing around was quite that big. This is the biggest one yet for him. He had been doing some larger pots but not quite this size. Before I contacted Roy, I had no idea he'd agree to do something this big. Now we know!

Go Big or Go Home!! That is one crazy big pot! Roy's skill with the construction and glaze is very apparent with this piece. I'm very interested in what you've got planned for it. So, are you driving to NC or is Roy driving to NJ, or will it *gulp* be shipped
?

Dave sometimes I want to go home but not today!
I ask Roy to please take videos and photos of the process. I have a couple of clips he sent me but cannot seem to be able to upload them. I will need to start a thread for this eventually. I will soon need to put it together. And yes GULP..... it will be shipped!

The other day I was thinking of we could manage to play "telephone" with a tree, from coast to coast, drive meet pass off, drive meet pass, etc...
Maybe we should do it for this pot!
