1919年創業の瀬戸の窯元、眞窯にうまれ、染付け窯屋をコンセプトに多くの作品を生み出してきました。 絵付けでは染付特有の”濃(ダミ)”という技法を駆使します。 太く大きな筆から呉須をスポイトのように流し出し、陶器の表面に絵を施していきます。 墨絵のように藍一色だけで様々な濃淡の青を表現できる多様さは他の器にはない美しさ。 時間をかけて習得されたクラフトマンの技術だけが、藍色の美しさをより際立たせます。 I was born at Shingama pottery in Seto, founded in1919. I have created many products up to the present with “sometsuke pottery” as my concept. For sometsuke painting(indigo dyeing), I utilize a technique called “dami”which is a characteristic of dyeing. Gosu is poured out from a large, thick brush like from a syringe and is painted on the surface of the porcelain. As in ink painting, the variety that can be expressed with the various shades of blue using the single color of indigo is beauty not found in other pottery. Only the skill of craftsmen learned over many years can make the beauty of indigo really stand out.

Our first Workshop from Home webinar features ceramic artist and educator Ashley Kim! In this demonstration, we’ll take a deep dive into Ashley’s handbuilding and decorating techniques for one of her signature vase forms.

  • Learn to build an asymmetrical vase form using coils and slabs
  • Make instant lace transfers
  • Top it all off with stencil-resist and sgraffito decoration
