This man is very clever. The Mr. Miyagi of pottery. Heavily inspired by his culture. I would love to go to the US and study his techniques.

Everyone has a craft whether it is speechmaking, writing, dressing cadavers for viewing, painters, cooks, designers, printers and of course potters. But some have the ability to raise that craft to an art form.

Akira’s studio/gallery was destroyed in the flooding that struck Asheville in 2024. That beautiful gallery was knee deep in mud. If you go to his website you can donate to the restoration of this gifted man’s workplace.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

That's horrible news. Thanks for adding this.
