Takeshi Yasuda: Working in China

Fifteen years ago, at an age when most people are considering retirement, the Japanese born, British potter, Takeshi Yasuda relocated his studio from England to China. It is remarkable, but consistent with this artist’s enquiring nature, that after over forty years of working with stoneware he should take on porcelain as well as the challenges faced by foreigners in modern China. In doing so he is producing some of the most exciting work of his career.
