Join Joan B Mirviss LTD for an insightful Zoom talk on September 30, as they bring together a dynamic panel of renowned senior ceramic artists and educators whose artistic careers have been shaped by time spent in both Japan and the United States, two countries with very distinct approaches to ceramic art. Rooted in centuries of tradition, Japanese ceramics have long emphasized both technical mastery and functional forms. The United States, on the other hand, has become a hub for experimentation free from the strictures of convention.

During the talk, the panelists will reflect on the role that each of these environments have played in fostering their remarkable artistic careers.

Panelists include:
JUN KANEKO, artist
SUZUKI GORŌ, artist
RICHARD BRESNAHAN, artist and educator
REE KANEKO, arts administrator, consultant, and curator
