Ken Matsuzaki, the descendant of
Japanese pottery dynasty, comes to The Art League this June to share his
knowledge, technique, and successful career with The Art League and Washington,
DC community.
The foundation of Matsuzaki's
work is strongly rooted in the Mingei philosophy. The basis of Mingei philosophy is that work is the hand-crafted art of ordinary people and that there is beauty in everyday,
ordinary objects.Matsuzaki
apprenticed with Tatsuzo Shimaoka who was a student of Shoji Hamada, both named
National Living Treasures by the Japanese Government. Matsuzaki's use of fire,
manipulation of flame and ash distinguish his work from that of his mentors, and
has made him a master in his own right.
On Friday, June 20, 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the Torpedo
Factory Main Hall, Matsuzaki will give a talk and presentation about his career
as a potter.The public is
invited to attend. The presentation
will be followed by a reception in The Art League Gallery.On Saturday and Sunday June 21 - 22, Matsuzaki will give
a workshop at The Art League School. The Art League is pleased to have the support of the
James Renwick Alliance, the Torpedo Factory Artists Association, and the
Embassy of Japan.
