Hanako Nakazato

November 15^th Fri. – 18^th Mon.
Opening Reception Nov. 15^th Fri. 6pm-8pm

Hanako Nakazato comes from a family of potters in Japan stretching back 14 generations.  Both her technique and philosophy as a studio potter are grounded in the ceramic traditions of her home, Karatsu Japan.  But her designs and surfaces are also highly influenced by years spent traveling and living in the West.  This special blend of origin and influence results in versatile functional tableware that works in a variety of settings from minimal and modern to traditional and rustic.
