Description
Grogged stoneware, rugged and cracked porcelain deposits over layered slips beneath running ash glazes.
Akiko Hirai draws upon traditional Japanese methods when making her ceramics. Her work is a fusion of Japanese and British ceramic traditions. She uses the technique of allowing the clay to show how it wants to be fired. Her pieces are deeply textured and her forms are those of work ware – simple and satisfying. She uses coarse dark clay, creating a veil between the rough forms underneath and the smooth calm of the glazed exterior. Once fired, the chemical impurities of the underlying clay create subtle, often unpredictable, areas of color and shade that can be glimpsed through the whiteness. She welcomes the sense of ambiguity this produces.
