5 August: Went to a stunning exhibition at the Goldmark Gallery at Uppingham featuring Ken Matsuzaki. Containing over 100 new pieces of work including his new method called, Tokaiseki. Lumps of clay that are carved, pulled, twisted and finally hollowed out. Fired in wood and gas kilns using a variety of glazes including ash. The results are both controlled and random. A beautiful set of work that can be looked at for a long time and still lave things unseen. A second visit may be needed before the exhibition closes.
