Hiraoka Jin
Hiraoka san's work has a sculptural roughness to it and is often combined with a crackle glaze for maximum effect - or with one of the vibrant blue wood ash glazes which is becoming a signature of his.
Hiraoka san is great company, chatting about football, cars or dogs, and his cheerful demenaour comes through in his hand-made ceramics.
