Kiku is quite an art. For 12-14 years I grew them and I’m Still far from expert. It’s the climate here requires patience but they last longer, anyway some of the arts I’ve pursued are these and ceramic art too, of course, and for awhile now I’ve researched Silk Road Textiles. I collect and show them, in the past I showed my ceramics in competitions and international shows. I also miss ceramic art and pottery and who knows?
I changed from sculptural work to tile design and tiles are very interesting small tiles in relief.
The world is varied and has many things to learn about though. What’s next?
I’m still involved in the Silk Road research, collections and writing.
Anyway I’m still in love with mums the emperor of Japans seal is the chrysanthemum, Kiku
About my mums, they come from Kings Mums in Oregon City. This video is from them.
I have quills, spoons, anemone, Incurve, thistles, pom poms. But not a great show this year. Here is Kings catalogue, you can order plugs to get started in spring, and tell them I sent you!
