Be InspIred By CeramIC artIst KunIyuKI sashIhara

From austIn’s sIster CIty, oIta Japan

With 35 years of working in clay, Sashihara-San is known for his expressive functional pottery. He states his current work is “centered on functional pieces for everyday use, however, I experience joy in finding ways to express myself within the confines of this genre. I am inspired by the great masters who have come before me in terms of technique as well as the balance and overall style of my work. I also take inspiration from beautiful natural settings, sculpture, and paintings.”

Sashihara-San apprenticed in Saga Prefecture in the Arita Yaki style of pottery after graduating from university and his work is celebrated throughout Japan in both group and solo exhibitions.

sIgn up For CeramICs demo WorKshop

Please join us for an up close cultural and educational experience with one of Oita’s most respected potters. Sashihara-San is visiting Austin for several weeks where he will work in our clay studio and offer a two day demonstration workshop.

The workshop is presented as a demonstration with occasionally asking volunteers to participate trying out Kuniyuki’s techniques hands on. Space is limited, and we recommend students have some experience in a clay studio.

No supplies necessary. Students will not be producing work that will be fired in this demonstration workshop. Lunch break on your own.

Some of the techniques covered:• Japanese throwing techniques characterized by intentional

finger indentations and minimal trimming

• Carving and sculpting with thrown pieces.

• Hand formed marbling and building marbled slabs
