Toshiko Takaezu’s artistic legacy lives on in her home studio which has been kept alive through the continued work of her students and apprentices. Learn some more about Toshiko through a provided statement:
“Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011) was a titan of 20th century ceramic art. A prolific maker, she excelled in ceramics, textiles, & painting. The big vegetable garden, comfortable house, basement studio and the big kiln made for a peaceful and productive existence while teaching at Princeton University.
After her passing, the house has become a living museum with an enormous collection of her artwork. Toshiko’s wish was to have the place continue as a studio and a resource for her students and apprentices to work. Although we have no possibility of emulating the stimulation, energy, inspiration and discipline which she generated, in keeping with this directive, we are pleased to offer a variety of programs for ceramists. We hope to broaden these opportunities to fiber artists, painters, & writers in the near future with our nascent residency program."
