Run don't walk to the Miami Valley Pottery Pop Up at the old hardware store, which opens today until June 14! Naysan has created 101 forms that reflect the Mingei movement and his recent study of Japanese ceramics. As Chuck Shows wrote in the news, "The Mingei movement argued that true beauty was not found in objects made to be observed, but in humble things made sincerely, often by anonymous craftspeople, and used every day. Mingei proposes that beauty should live in ordinary rituals: eating, drinking, gathering, serving and sharing." We are honored to have Naysan's pottery at MAZU and in our home, spreading joy and beauty as we eat and share together.
