Gosu Bellflower Bowl

Gosu is just the Japanese name for a cobalt glaze and the bellflower refers to the kikyo flower (also known as the balloon flower) which is a common autumnal motif in Japanese weaving and design.

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 demeanour comes through in his hand-made ceramics.
