As a step toward building a new Art Center, Arts Iowa City/ the Artifactory project is continuing its series of Sunday art events, sponsored by Beadology Iowa, with a presentation by Japanese ceramicist and Scattergood Artist in Residence Shumpei Yamaki. He is building a wood-fire kiln for the school and has been experimenting with local clay in his personal endeavors as a wood-fire potter.

Shumpei will talk about process, show slides, show actual work, talk about his journey from doing hip-hop dance to becoming a ceramic artist rooted in Japanese aesthetics and techniques and how those things are connected. And he will answer questions/have a discussion.
