Heath have brought back Japanese potter Akio Nukaga for another exhibition of his outstanding ceramics at their Los Angeles studio and showroom. Visitors will be able to view new works from his Mashiko kiln, including pleated vases, cups and teapots which evoke his customary style, as well as new techniques like the indigo glaze utilized in his Blue Band Collection. Be sure to pick up the richly textured, longer neck Bud Vase he produced with Heath as a collaborative piece, since I’m sure supplies are very limited.

OEN recently published an interview with Adam Silverman on their website. His work is especially beautiful, using a mix of colour and texture with more traditional shapes to create a cohesive and collectable body of work. He also has a Rizzoli monograph coming out towards the end of September, with events planned at Heath Ceramics to celebrate its launch.
