Three Views: Ceramics in the Asian Aesthetic by Cathi Jefferson, Kinichi Shigeno and Junichi Tanaka

Since the early 20^th century, Asian aesthetics and potters’ traditions have been part of the ceramic arts in North America. Reverence for nature, practicing the art of tea, and Zen philosophy are three obvious influences. Cathi Jefferson, Kinichi Shigeno, and Junichi Tanaka are three British Columbia ceramic artists whose work has an affinity to Asian ceramics while strongly maintaining a uniqueness and individuality, which speaks of the maker. Circle Craft is proud to present the work of these three ceramic artists, also members of the Co-operative in honour of the 2010 Canadian Clay Symposium.
