Building large ceramic stools requires considerable clay, skill and time while they shrink about 15%; drying & firing. Our sons help carry them from the basement to be fired and glazed in a large studio kiln. This pair has been sold to a visiting Naguchi Museum Associate and ships to Michigan.
The glazing/handling is challenging and magnificent 3-D paintings emerge.
Bill helped build this kiln for Toshiko Takaezu many years ago and is where he continues to fire and glaze large pieces of his work.
The cost for this size stool is about $4,000 or less for a pair. The lovely pair below went to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
