Akiko is originally from Tokyo, Japan. She was introduced to painting,
calligraphy, music and pottery when she was a child and she studied
ceramic sculpture at Tama art university in Tokyo.
After working as a ceramicist in London for 5 years, she’s currently
based in Dundee temporarily, focusing on exploring wood firing
technique in the family farm in Kirriemuir.
Most of her work is produced on the wheel but she also likes to use
other techniques such as handbuilding and slip decoration. She enjoys the designing process and because of her background is in ceramic sculpture, she likes her work to blur the boundaries of pottery and sculpture work. Akiko will always be there to help your designs come to light. Her passion for ceramic will continue to uncover the new shape and share the joy of learning to everyone’s life.
