In the shadowy hamlet of Soazza, in Switzerland’s alpine Grisons region, Helga Ritsch has found the peace and solitude she desires to hand-throw her delicate stoneware and porcelain masterpieces.
When not teaching meditation at Kyoto’s oldest Zen temple, Tosei Shinabe is crafting ‘za kekkai’ stones, spiritual objets d’art that the Buddhist Zen monk hand-selects and infuses with prayers.
A self-described “firer of things”, Japanese potter Shingo Oka walks us through the orchards, kilns and beehives of Tenpyogama, where he crafts works that reflect his deep knowledge of Asian ceramics.
