There’s currently a special exhibition on #Chinese #lacquer art at the #Museum for #EastAsianArt here in #Cologne, covering works from the #Song, #Yuan, and #Ming dynasties. I visited it today, and the exhibition is surprisingly large and broad in scope. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in the area:
"Layers and Cuts: Chinese Lacquer Art"
📆 until 31 January 2027

This is the last week of 'postcard' images from Srinagar. After this, I will get arty. This week, you will see images of artisans at work. In this post, I have four images of an artisan at work. His concentration is absolute.

Spent some monies before tariffs started rolling in and got some phosphors (from the Netherlands).
Now I am making some new colors- a warm white and a pink. Mundy Hepburn was right- when buying phosphors- just get RGB... oh an maybe violet.
Gotta mix these on the ball mill for the recommended two days and then do some test coats- I sure am excited!
realistically I might do a test tomorrow. It will be nice to see how it moves and coats a sample tube.
It sure is coating the jar well after about 20 minutes. That is a 254nm quartz lamp for the argon mercury.The nitrocellulose coatings are so effective! The chemicals are kinda nasty- but they evaporate rapidly and don't make phosphor waste that cannot be put down the drain.

This just seems like a luscious camera. I absolutely love Japanese lacquerware and anything finished in lacquer

I stayed late today to burn the binder out of all the hand pulled tubes I coated. Tomorrow I shall make a pretty doodle and (hopefully) see some fruits of my labour.
Fingers crossed for good shades of brown and pink light- a paradox I enjoy.
I have been noticing phosphor drips around the studio now. At first I was freaked out thinking they may release phosphor into the air- but they really just act like white paint. I cannot kick them up or scuff them.
Not sure if I should be laughing or terrified that my messes now glow pretty colors under a germicidal bulb?
Gosh- just look at that pink stripe! Some of my glassblower friends back their tubes with white glass. Sure that makes it look nice when its off... but I prefer the white backing to come from a glowing phosphor powder!
Sooo excited for tomorrow!

Adding nitro cotton to the solvent mix. It is bizarre seeing it dissolve into the solvents. By the third mix I was really pulling it apart and mixing in each little poof before adding another.
The coating on my 12mm tube stir stick was thick, but totally covered. It burned off cleanly after waving it through the crossfire a bit- very nice since I plan on renting a kiln and don't want to make a big stinky kiln mess.
It coats the glass really well- I can definitely see how this could be the way to go once I maybe sieve out all the chunky cotton bits and mix in phosphor powders!
Although organic solvents aren't necessarily eco friendly, at least the leftover solvent in this method just evaporates. The "eco friendly" water based method has some water soluble solvents that are highly toxic to aquatic life- and they don't just evaporate easily.

I am a bit scared of keeping these explosive nitro cotton balls lying around in our spark and fire filled studio. Here is the solution I am using.
They are shipped to me in sealed bags with moisture in them to keep them from igniting. So I took each bag and put it in a separate glass jar, then put all the jars in the giant sealed protein powder jar filled with water.
I figure the sealed and water encased jar should keep em from igniting. The cotton is neat to pull apart (and you definitely need to do so to add it slowly and prevent clumping- something I am learning.
I haven't ignited any yet- despite that being its intended use.

Thrift shop find of the year so far: a carved cinnabar and enamel ginger jar from China, made in the 1950s - will be spending the next chapter of its life as a tea caddy for this fine ancient arbor white tea that a friend gave me
