A Seto Set: The Art of Japanese Pottery

Studio Art major Harley Bosco ’16 traveled to Seto, Japan to study Raku firings. Harley has studied in Florence and Sardinia, Italy and at the SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology and, this summer, will be in the Kita-gama Kasen pottery studio run by the Kato family, which has been practicing ceramics since 1610. She describes clay as “a special medium…it is responsive to the touch yet forgiving, allowing one to create and destroy simultaneously. It provides a unique connection to creation…and makes the work I produce in it feel a lot more personal.”
