About Noriko Nagaoka:
All the way from Osaka in Japan, to London's leafy North Finchley, Noriko creates unique hand-crafted stoneware pieces. Taking inspiration from one of the 20th century's most celebrated potters, fellow countryman Shoji Hamada, she works with the flow of the glaze and uses gravity combined with the shapes of her ceramics. Spontaneity is vital in capturing the fluid designs that occur in the glazing process, making each single piece individual, always a one-off. Her expanding range of ceramics range from small delicate sake cups, to sets of plates and bowls, all the way to larger vases and pots – all coloured and textured by the layered glazing effect that echoes the natural environment of land and sea in her native Japan.
