Wood Kiln vs. Electric Kiln: The Art of Tenmokus (Jian Zhan) Tea Cups

Learn about the differences between wood-fired and electric kilns when making ​Tenmoku (Jian Zhan) tea cups—the classic black-glazed ceramics in Chinese tea culture since ancient times. In this video, we will cover: ​The Craftsmanship: Why wood-fired Tenmoku tea cups are true one-of-a-kind masterpieces (and why your bank account will be in serious trouble if you hope to get one that is just right). ​Modern vs. Traditional: How electric kilns are outfitted with the latest technologies to ensure precision, while wood kilns respect traditional methodologies that naturally lend unpredictability and beauty. ​Cultural Legacy: Why wood-fired Tenmoku rose and fell squarely with the Song Dynasty, and how we are beginning to see it publically embraced again. ​Quality Factors: Understand how to avoid impostors and spot the differences in clay (iron-rich clay textures), glaze (glaze chemistry), and what makes a true Tenmoku tea cup. Thank you for watching. We hope you learnt something new about both the science, artistry, and spirit of Tenmoku.
