焼くと失う土の色-Clay Color Changes

アルタミラの洞窟画？
「生」の土、いろいろ

Altamira cave or
Cueva de Altamira?
Locally collected clay slips show
a variety of color and texture.

Tazawako(Akita)---Meteora(Greece)
kamihayashi(Niigata)---Nagaokakyou(kyoto)
Tokurako(Yamagata)---Ronda(Spain)
Yaozu(Gifu)---Taroubou(Mt.Fuji)
Nishizawakeikoku(Yamanashi)---Hirukawa(Gifu)
Skibbereen(Ireland)---Arizona(USA)


ところが、どうだっ
透明釉と溶け合って
有機物焼けちゃった

When fired, the color is lost.
Some clays have a high iron content
and much organic matter.
Others(gray/white) have aluminum silicate
instead.
