Potstructuur ¹⁹⁹²

Tjok Dessauvage does not consider his pots primarily as utensils, but as carriers of information. The colour is created by the originally Japanese raku firing technique: the objects are removed from the red-hot kiln (1000 °C) during the firing process and placed in a barrel with sawdust or hay. This immediately catches fire due to the heat of the pottery. The barrel is sealed, and non-glazed parts become blackened.
