Kyo-yaki & Kiyomizu-yaki/Ceramics: Megumi Sasaki

My time at a Kyo-yaki/Kiyomizu-yaki studio that mainly produced tea utensils taught me overglaze techniques that I now use to create and paint my own designs at home. I strive to craft items that fit modern lifestyles while also cherishing traditional designs and patterns.
