Yoko Takao
Japanese Potter
“ ADAPTING THE TECHNIQUES USED, SCRATCHING AND BRUSHING AT THE CLAY ONCE IT HAS DRIED AND THEN RUBBING GLAZE ONTO THE SURFACES SO COLOURS LAYER IN INTERESTING WAYS.”
Yoko Takao from Nakano-Ku, Tokyo makes hand-built pottery with textured surfaces that are layered with slips and oxides. Her works consider the balance of colour and form and are designed to be both sculptural and functional.
