A Taste of Japan

A selection of work by contemporary Japanese Potters at MAKE Southwest.

The variety and skills of Japanese potters are renowned, and going back to Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, there is a strong tradition of links between the UK and Japan in the world of ceramics, particularly in the South West. This tradition continues to the present day; this exhibition will show a group of mid-career Japanese potters, some of whom are from Mashiko, the town known for its potteries, and where Shoji Hamada lived. 

Exhibitors: Peter Seabridge, Masahiro Kumagae , Noriko Eki, Shinpei Fukushima, Ryuji Hodaka
