Description

One of a kind design mug by a virtuoso of glazing colour, Takemura Yoshinori. All of Takemura's pieces are the happy outcomes of his improvisational making process which can never be repeated. The same glazing techniques are applied on these two mugs. As the artist experimented, it brought quite different interesting effects. Dimensions: approx Width 13 cm Height 7.5 cm 7.5 cm Material: Porcelain Quantity: unique Made in Japan. Sold separately. Price is for one item only About the artist Every ceramicist is a sort of chemist, but Takemura Yoshinori is also an alchemist. His whimsical & improvisational style goes happily along with the vast variety of colours he conjures. More than 60 original glazing colours are up his sleeve. All his pieces are porcelain, which he dresses up with glazes, focusing on finding the right outfit to match each form. He enjoys these one-off sessions. Naturally, each piece is unique & one of a kind. Although Takemura's works seem to be totally free from any ceramic tradition, he has a highly expert background in Japanese applied arts. Before turning to full time making, Takemura had worked as a restorer of artefacts using historical techniques, including the art of Japanese lacquer (Kintsugi). Takemura is a graduate of Musashino Art University, & went on to complete a master's degree in Conservation & Restoration at Tokyo University of the Arts. Based in Chiba where he grew up, he holds regular workshops, punctuated by his own exhibitions at both domestic & overseas galleries.
