Otani Workshop

We are pleased to present an exhibition of works by an artist who goes by the professional name of Otani Workshop.
Toward the end of each year, generally speaking, we hold an exhibition of works by Japanese ceramicists, but this year, our show is not quite business as usual. Otani Workshop, as his name suggests, is an artist who does crafts. He does make ceramics as well, but his true profession is in crafting. When you hear “workshop” and “craft,” you might think of something innocent, like children working on art projects.
Treading the boundary of ceramics, sculpture, and craft, he may look like an ambiguous amateur, but to stake out and maintain his place on that boundary requires a certain mental preparation on his part. We believe his determination comes through this show.
