Euan Craig - Jonathan Accatino


Euan Craig is a potter who first discovered this art at the age of 14. He gained a BA in ceramics design at Latrobe University and ran Castle Donnington Pottery in Swan Hill for four years. After this he moved to the traditional pottery town of Mashiko, Japan and apprenticed to the National Living Treasure, Tatsuzo Shimaoka. He lived in Mashiko for twenty years until he had to relocate because of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster that followed. I picked this piece because I really liked the shape and color of these mugs. I also thought the handle was interesting with the cool design of it at the bottom.
