SpotLight: Kazuya Ishida | Artist Interview | Ceramics Masterclass | The Living Light Art Studio

We are so excited to launch our second film in a new series discovering artists in all fields of art - SpotLight. For this episode, we sit down with ceramicist Kazuya Ishida from Bizen Japan for an enlightening conversation, taking us through his experience and insights as a ceramic artist and an educator. Masterclass in The Living Light Art Studio (Hong Kong): 2024 January - Rahou: Master Class in Spontaneous Throwing 2023 March - Spontaneous Throwing with Kazuya Ishida Kazuya Ishida was born into a family of potters in Bizen Japan. Bizen is one of the six ‘ancient kilns’ and is famous for its traditional unglazed high-temperature-fired bizen-style pottery. He uses wood-fired noborigama (multiple chamber climbing kiln) and anagama (single chamber climbing kiln). He trained with Jun Isezaki (a Living National Treasure in Bizen) for four years, followed by time spent in the UK learning different styles of pottery, before he established his own studio in Bizen. Invited into the Anagama Project run by the University of Oxford, he has been a lead resident potter teaching kiln making, firing, and pottery making, while lecturing about his craft. He makes sculptures and vases featuring his distinctive spiraling marks, created with a technique inspired by a teenage love for breakdancing. In using limited materials (specifically, natural clay and natural ash glazes) in line with the Bizen tradition, he explores the rhythms and patterns of Nature. The contemporary forms of his work are a reflection of the primordial, rippled textures and patterns of the ocean bed, the tectonic shifts of a cliff face, and the marks that ebbing tides have left on rock pools, pebbles, and seashells. Stay tuned for our next film on another influential artist!
