Yuko Nemoto is a ceramicist who leads the studio "SANZOKU." She creates charming yet quirky ceramic pieces that function both as everyday tableware and as works of art. Using a hand-building coiling technique, she stacks ropes of clay one layer at a time and shapes them using only the pressure of her fingers. Each piece is sculpted with meticulous care and is entirely one-of-a-kind; many are finished with gold or silver gilding.
