Takako Watanabe (Ceramics)
I graduated from Bath College of Higher Education (Bath Spa University) in 3-D Design Ceramics B.A (Hon) in 1995. Currently, living in Kawaguchiko, a city at the foot of Mt.Fuji, working in a textile company while exhibiting works constantly since 1999 in Japan.
Through my works, I am trying to express the world of my imagination, with inspiration from memories, feelings, sensations, scenery and natural phenomena. I'd like the atmosphere of my works to be unique, heart-warming, and take people away from their daily routine for a while.
