Embarrassed that this post is so long overdue-shame!
While in Mashiko,
we had the pleasure of visiting local potter--Harvey Young--
at his home and studio.
Being a total ceramics groupie since the invention of play-doh,
I was happy to come across Harvey's work--
a mature mix of cultures, old and new..
Mashiko is still slowly recovering from the 3/11 earthquake,
made especially difficult as much of the city relies on pottery sales--
and, as you can imagine, much was destroyed from the impact.
please keep the local artisans in your thoughts!

Hello Kimberly!
ReplyDeletehahaha yes, me too, i'm so happy!! :)
I made Taka's website recently. I talked about you with them, they remember you very well. I also showed your blogs to them, and loved your designs.
Hopefully we can meet some day! I'm now in the west coast of Japan, staying in a zen temple. I will try to stay in Japan for a while, so lets see,
Take care!
