Japanese Pottery by YO THOM

After a degree in English Language, Yo came to Britain and started 3D design course at Kent Institute of Art and Design. During her introductory course, she was hooked in Ceramics and decided to take BA in Ceramics. She also started assisting a British Studio Potter, Lisa Hammond whilst at college, and carried on as a full-time apprentice after obtaining MA.

She established her own studio in London in 2004 producing hand thrown functional stoneware and porcelain with Carbon-trapped Shino Glaze and Blue Celadon glaze.

Now she is in the process of establishing a new pottery near Shaftesbury. She is hoping to develop new work in this new environment surrounded by picturesque British countryside, which would be an unique marriage of British and Japanese elements.

During our Japanese themed Dorset Art Weeks event, food will be produced by

Japanese Cuisine by Teruko Chagrin
	I am a Japanese foodie and a nutrition enthusiast who has lived outside of Japan for over 20 years. I have seen a renaissance in the cooking cultures in different parts of the world. It is not hard to obtain exotic ingredients anymore and people are open to experimenting with new ideas. We are much more aware of choice, not only for our benefit, such as quality and price, but also to look after our planet for our children. It certainly makes me feel good to be concerned about things even if it is a little more effortful. So I have created this website to connect with people who are interested in Japanese cooking trying to use local ingredients as much as possible. It is my small effort to take part in environmentally friendly activities. However, the basic ingredients for seasoning and making stock are mainly from Japan. Still, I would like to keep searching for substitutes here in the U.K and Europe. Please join me so we can share information to create delicious and healthy meals!

Paintings by LAURA RICH

My work is a combination of sketches and painting outside, photos, gut feeling and emotional state at the time. I am not trying to represent a landscape figuratively, although the starting point is always from my sketchbook and memory of a place. I am moreover trying to connect with how I felt at the time of sketching. The light, the weather and who is with me (often my daughter Evie who likes to sketch with me). What results is an intuitive response to those factors.
