Mashiko Tougei club - Japan
One week to fall in love with the joy and the freedom of creating. The feeling of the clay under my hands, the texture, the subtle movements of the piece that slowly take form. To me pottery is about passion, trusting your intuition, failing often and embracing imperfections which become then the essence of beauty.
More than an experience it is a philosophy that deeply inspired me, changed my relationship with things around us and help me to approach beauty with a different eye.
I hope this can inspire you as well to try and maybe start making your first pieces.
Mashiko the pottery town, a small Japanese village in the middle of the countryside filled with gallery and beautiful ceramics.
