Sawada began creating ceramics in 2000 at Nakayoshi Fukushikai as part of a government program to help physically challenged and\/or neuro-divergent individuals find employment and sustain independent and productive lives. For the last two decades, supported by ceramics facilitator Masaharu Iketani, Sawada has worked to produce alluring, mesmerizing figures: often hybrid creatures densely patterned with chopstick-traced lines and painstakingly applied bumps, horns and \"scales.\" This publication features approximately 20 of Sawada's sculptures, creating a fantastical array of forms and features that echo elements of outsider art history while also offering the opportunity to explore the millennia-old tradition of the Shigaraki kilns where Sawada works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 10.4 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45806351941829,"sku":"9780997736465","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/K1HnCwpRTJ9780997736465.webp?v=1770918679","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/shinichi-sawada-agents-of-clay-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
