$Drop-in pottery demonstrations with Lisa Hammond and Yamada Y\u014dji$

This special drop-in event brings together British studio potter Lisa Hammond MBE and Japanese ceramicist Yamada Yōji for an afternoon of live demonstrations exploring each maker’s individual approaches to craft and material.
Featured in Japan House London’s exhibition Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan, Yamada Yōji previously trained in soda glazing at Lisa Hammond’s studio, Maze Hill Pottery.
Reunited at Japan House London, the two makers introduce audiences to the techniques that shape their practices, including wheel-throwing, slip decoration and hand-building.
Complementing the talk and demonstration event on 25 January, this drop-in event offers a more informal and personal encounter with the makers and their craft. Visitors are welcome drop in at any time during the three-hour session, subject to Hall capacity, observing the makers at work and engaging with them as they create.
Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan is on display in the Gallery at Japan House London from 3 December until 10 May 2026.
Please note that space in the Hall is limited and entry is on a first-come, first-served basis.
