Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Leach Pottery in St Ives in Cornwall, this event – part of a series of online conversations exploring Japanese studio pottery from the 20th century through the present day and beyond – focusses on the town of Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture as a site of historical significance for ceramics in Japan.
Matsuzaki Yuko, curator at the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Arts, is joined in conversation by Leach Pottery curator Matthew Tyas to discuss the contributions of Hamada Shōji and Bernard Leach in forging the shape of Japanese and British studio pottery.
