I make ceramics using ash glaze, which is a glaze that has been used from long ago, made from ashes of burnt wood. I use various ashes from cedar, grapes, sunflower etc. The various ashes bring out different expressions.

Ash glaze
Ash glazes (kaiyū) are ceramic glazes made from the ashes of plants, such as wood or straw. Traditionally, these are divided into three categories: pure wood ash, which is made from the bark of trees such as oak and chestnut and has a faintly blue hue; hearth ash, which contains impurities and has a faintly bluish-green hue; and straw ash, which produces a milky-white glaze.
