I had lunch yesterday with Willi Singleton, who is busy getting pots ready for his fall firing. I hadn't been out to Willi's Pine Creek Pottery in over a year. It was great to see him and the many pots that he's been working on. He's been experimenting with a bamboo ash glaze, making use of the bamboo that he's got growing along side the house. You can see a bit of the results on the vase in lower right above. The bamboo glaze is the creamy lighter part.
For lunch Willi made soba in broth, colorful and tasty with carrots and red peppers and served of course in bowls he had made. We then caught up a bit on things while drinking green tea, before I left to drive home through the fog and mist. Eastern Pennsylvania was feeling much like the Cotswolds yesterday.
