Working on some new Chawan for Upcoming Wood Firing

A few new recently completed Chawans destined for the Aum Anagama, right up the ridge from where I live in Albion, CA. The firing will take place over a ten day period, each participant volunteering to stoke the flames durng four 6-hours shifts.

Newly annointed Michelln chef, Mathew Kammerer, of the Harbor House Inn in Elk, CA, samples a new bottle of saké from San Francisco's Just Saké, while trying his own hand at making a few Chawans.
