URGENT APPEAL: Xiem Clay Center requests support for Potters in Mashiko, Japan.

Mashiko, a famous pottery town in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan was badly damaged during the recent earthquake. Mashiko pottery studios are generally individual or family owned and for many, losing kilns and production facilities is a major setback. Xiem studio members and friends have donated special ceramic works to be sold at our upcoming Xiem Ceramic Art Fair and Studio Sale to raise funds for the Mashiko Potters Fund. 100% of funds raised will be dedicated to helping the potters of Mashiko rebuild and re-establish their kilns and workshops. Thank you in advance for your support!

This tour, designed by ceramic artist Junzo Mori, Xiem Clay Center's Studio Technician, gives local ceramic artists a unique introduction to the rich and varied practice of ceramics in Japan. Focusing on studio visits and personal meetings with potters who use both traditional and contemporary techniques, the tour includes visits to related cultural sites and ceramic collections and some free time for personal exploration in Kyoto and Tokyo. Mediated by Japanese-born tour leader J unzo Mori’s understanding of the American ceramics scene and local Japanese guide, wood-carver Yo Takimoto’s extensive knowledge of craft and Japan, nothing will be ‘lost in translation’ and tour participants have the rare opportunity of gaining an insider perspective on Japan, culture and clay.
