Members Moment | Shinichi Sawada: Agents of Clay

Members enjoy a presentation and walking tour of Shinichi Sawada: Agents of Clay with Jen Sudul Edwards, Ph.D., Chief Curator & Curator of Contemporary Art.

Shinichi Sawada is a Japanese ceramic artist whose training began in 2000 with the Nakayoshi Fukushikai Welfare Association through a program aimed at assisting neurodivergent individuals in finding employment and fostering independence. For the last two decades, Sawada has produced alluring ceramic sculptures that explore a millennia-old tradition of Japanese pottery and the Shigaraki kilns.
