My first exhibition of 2017 is a 3 persons show at the Beaver Galleries in Canberra. I am  so honored to show my new body of work along with internationally acclaimed ceramicist Prue Venable, and Kenji Uranishi who’s famous for his meticulous architectural porcelain objects.

My new work is wheel thrown and hand-carved and hand-painted with cobalt. Some of the work is combined with Kintsugi and Maki-e technique which are traditional crafts skills in Japan. I appreciate you if you could visit the gallery to see our show.

今年最初の個展はキャンベラのビーバーギャラリーズでの三人展です。世界的に活躍されているプルー・ベナブル先生や、ブリスベンを拠点に活躍され、主に建築をテーマしたオブジェで有名な浦西健治さんと一緒に展示会が出来る事を大変光栄に思っています。

新作は日本の磁土を使った鉢で、金継ぎや蒔絵を取り込んだものとなっております。成形は轆轤、削りは全て手作業です。お時間が許せば是非、ギャラリーに足をお運び下さい。

keiko matsui graduation ceremony at national art school

Graduation ceremony at NAS, Sydndey.

The year of 2016 is my 10th year since I graduated from the National Art School in Sydney, Australia. To celebrate my milestones, I renewed my website and opened my online shop. I am 10 years older, (more grey hair+fat) I became a mother. I have my own studio with 3 kilns & 3 wheels. It was not easy journey until now, however, I truly appreciate to people who supported me and purchased and collected my pieces.

2016年はシドニーのナショナル・アート・スクールを卒業してから10年目の年です。初心に戻る気持ちもこめて、新しくウェブサイトをリニューアルし、同時にオンラインショップもオープンしました。10歳年をとり（白髪と脂肪増）母になり、自分の工房（窯3つとろくろ3台）を持つことができました。決して楽な道ではありませんでしたが、私を支えてくださった皆様、作品を買ってくださったお客様に心から感謝致します。どうぞこれからも宜しくお願い致します。

Please come and join us.

去年に引き続き、レッドファーンにあるスモール・スペースにて個展をする運びとなりました。今回はかねてから想い入れのある、そして毎日見上げている”月”をテーマに制作に挑みました。ムーンジャーを含む多くの作品は、月の満ち欠けのフォルムやテキスチャーを意識したものです。また、上絵釉薬の金や銀を用い、金継ぎの作品も展示させて頂いております。個展は16日から始まりますが、20日（日曜）にはレセプションとアーティストトークを行います。お時間のある方は是非お越し下さい。
