About Me
Introduction | Hobby potter in Paris, interested in E V E R Y T H I N G about clay. |
What I Love about Ceramics | The variety of techniques, shapes, colours, textures… |
How I started with ceramics | A 1 week throwing workshop at the country-side… On the second day, one of the other participants asked me : “so, did you dream of pottery?”, I didn’t understand, I was like… errr why the **** would I? By the end of that week, I was hooked. 1 year and a half later, I wake up pottery, practice every couple day, fall asleep thinking pottery… And my bank hates me. |
What inspires me | Shapes and colours mainly |
What I'm working on at the moment | I’m into porcelain but lately I’m trying to work on new shapes, so back to stoneware |
My Artist Statement | 奥山の松葉に凍る雪よりも我が身世に降る程ぞ悲しき |
