This entire collection is inspired by one meal, one “moment.”  While planning to prepare a seven course Japanese meal I set about trying to decide how each course would be presented.  After spending almost two hours going through closets and cupboards, I had the presentation of all the courses planned in my head.  That experience changed me and made me a better potter and a better cook.  That meal changed my fundamental view of the pots I make and how I fire them.  All of these meals and their presentation were inspired by that meal and that “moment.”
