I get my inspiration out of daily life, gardening has always been one of my favorite occupations.
The feeling of earth through my fingers has inspired me to work with clay.
I have a preference to use the plate technique so the assignment to create Chawan was absolutly a challenge for me.
The urge to use a potters wheel to turn has been there since the beginning of my 10 – year education.
To create a Chawan out of a block of clay is still a smal miracle to me… at last I can do what I like best!
私は日常生活からインスピレーションを受ける。たとえば、庭仕事は私の大好きな作業のひとつだ。指の間から落ちる土の感覚は、私を粘土に導く。
皿を作る技術を好む私にとって、茶碗を創ることはこの上もないチャレンジだった。轆轤を回したいという気持ちは、十年前から感じていた。土の塊から茶碗を作り出すことは、私にとって今でも小さな奇跡だ ...ついに、一番したいことができる!
