Euan Craig - Hayden DiMitri

 

Euan Craig is a potter who first found this art at the age of 14. He received a BA in ceramics design at Latrobe University and ran Castle Donnington Pottery in Swan Hill for four years. He then moved to the famous pottery town of Mashiko, Japan, and was apprenticed as a National Living Treasure to Tatsuzo Shimaoka. He remained in Mashiko for twenty years until he evacuated due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster that ensued.

I really enjoy this piece because of the color. I like seeing the wood against the blue sides of the plate. Additionally, the line designs on the sides are beautiful.
