TOMORROW 6pm-8pm Tim Rowan "Continuity" 10/3-10/5

We are pleased to announce that Sara Japanese Pottery will present the seventh in a series of event to celebrate our 25th years anniversary.
The artist, Tim Rowan, who’s stalwart designs inspired by natural clay and rock, says,

“I start with a particular shape, usually derived from some industrial relic. Then I begin working. A connection develops with the material and process and, at the best of times, I am no longer directing but responding to some sort of inner feeling or drive. In a sense it then is a spiritual practice and the material and process become irrelevant. The forms could be anything but they resonate a certain power that gives the work strength.”

 –Tim Rowan
