Euan Craig is a potter who lives and works in the mountains of Minakami in Japan. He grew up in Australia and had severe asthma. When Euan was only 8, his sister was diagnosed with brain damage. The doctors told his family it was unlikely that she'd live past 20, but she beat the odds and now lives in a permanent care home. He decided at 14 that he wanted to be a potter. He said he wanted to be at peace and create beauty. He began working with pottery in Melbourne as a teenager. Euan kept working there until he graduated from university where he studied ceramic design. He moved to Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture in 1190 because it was a holy place for pottery.
