Yuko KURAMATSU , Japanese of origin, has been passionate about manual
work
since childhood.
His mother showed him ceramics from different regions on each trip, which made her to
want
to not only contemplate,
but to lend a hand.
After few experiments, in 2012,
Dany SOURIAU entered
in his life, opening the door to the clay path. So the wheels started to spin and a
little
ceramicist woke up in Yuko.
By continuing to exercise in her workshop, as a trainee in professional training, she
learned the basics, discovered and
experimented with different techniques, particularly passionate about turning.
It was during this learning phase that she felt more and more attracted by porcelain and
in
particular with the technique
called neriage : a work on the mixture of
colored clays.
Subsequently she discovered the work of Eiji
MUROFUSHI ,
Mika SATO and their workshop. So
she
started making porcelain pieces
in nerikomi.
It was during this period, thanks to Dany, that she got to know Florence BEUDIN
LESAINT .
And since then, these three ceramists meet on a regular basis to exchange their
know-how.
In spring 2016, Mr. MUROFUSHI received her for an intensive private internship and she
was
able to meet Ms. SATO, and since then she continues to see them.
