This was sent to me by a friend, and will be of interest to potters on the
Seattle and Pacific NW region.

Friends and Colleagues,
The Northwest Craft Center at Seattle Center (206 728--1555) is currently
featuring the following exhibition in conjunction with the Cherry Blossom
Festival and is a must see. There was no show announcement mailed so people
don't know about it. Please forward this on to others.

"Japanese Pottery
The Rising Generation From Traditional Japanese Kilns"
co-sponsored by:
Consulate-General of Japan @ Seattle
The Japan Foundation

This exhibition introduces the work of 35 contemporary ceramic artists
active in the 7 major kiln sites of Japan:

1 Arita and Karatsu
2 Hagi
3 Bizen
4 Kyoto/Tamba
5 Kutani/Kanazawa
6 Seto and Mino
7 Tokyo/Mashiko

They differ in orientation, including some who carry on centuries long
traditions of pottery production while pursuing ever richer standards in
their craft to further enhance the traditional techniques, and others who
seek to create individualistic works, exploring new forms in clay. All are
promising to become the leaders of the next generation in the ceramic arts
in Japan, whose work has been drawing increasing attention in recent years.
The theme of the exhibition focuses on "vessels" and attempt to grasp the
nature of Japanese pottery today.
