About Maker
Haga Ryuichi is a self-taught potter who lives in the ceramics town of Mashiko in Japan. Digging local soil and minerals for the clay bodies and glazes of his pieces, firing in a self-built kiln, each process needs time and labour yet is essential for him. He sees this whole journey itself as part of the making of his art of fired earth.
