today i went to the HEATH studio to watch AKIO throw pots for a couple hours.....it was really fantastic...so humble. there was a translator on hand allowing us, non-japanese speaking friends, to keep up with the dialogue. his technique is very organic and his pieces are lovely everyday table ware with a slightly modern edge. the infamous potter, Akio, making his first US appearance in a solo show....right here in LA. it will be on display....until the pieces are sold, which are already going FAAAAST....visit HEATH CERAMICS, LA SHOWROOM
here are a couple pics....he was moving the whole time and unfortunately i couldn't get a great shot.
thanks to Adam Silverman at Heath LA for bringing Akio to us.
