Cirilo Domine's ceramic works exhibited at Shi Lai Temple are mainly Teabowls and other utensils in The Way of Tea. They are wheel-thrown or hand-built in the manner of the great Koetsu. These were not made alone in a studio but fired in community kilns.

Once fired, the kiln is sentient and needs wood for fuel: it breathes, burps, and gasps. It requires constant attention for a week or more; in the end, everyone is exhausted from the labor. What comes out is an unpredictable beauty of nature that humbles one to the craft of making these works.
