 It’s been a while since I wrote anything here – mostly I put stuff up on facebook ( please check James Erasmus Pottery ) nowadays, but I’ll make a renewed attempt at keeping this up to date!

Well the long cold winter is over, as I write, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and it’s time to get out of the house! I had a good firing just a couple of weeks ago and almost all the pots in Gallery Fukuta are new work.

Chihiro is exhibiting a range of work, from kimono and obi through to small bags and book covers. I am off to Tokyo tomorrow so will post some photos from the exhibition!

Exhibtion runs from April 6 to 19. All welcome!

The big freeze is upon us at last, this is the most snow we’ve had for a few years at least. It came down quick over the course of 2 nights and a day, about 40 cm worth. It is stunning when it first arrives, but now several days later the novelty is wearing off! Minus 8 the other night I’m told…driving needs care, I’ve seen two cars gone over into the rice fields this week and where the sun doesn’t reach it packs down into ice and refuses to melt. Nothing for it but to fill up the wood stove and wait it out!

あけましておめでとうございます！

Wishing everybody a very Happy New Year, love, peace, good health and a little prosperity for 2017!

We finally made it up the mountain for the sunrise walk this year for the first time. A beautiful morning and stunning setting to be served matcha by Nessim, a young French student of tea who is working with me here for a short time this year.

Celebrating 25 years Gallery To-an held a special three day exhibition at the Swissotel in Namba,Osaka from November 25-27. It was a remarkable event, continuously packed with people throughout the weekend. A tribute to Kashiwagi san and the enthusiasm and energy she puts into her work. Very grateful to be a part of such a successful show!
