Yumiko Katsuya

by Yumiko Katsuya 
Born in Japan, I became a Canadian resident in 1971 and started pottery in 1983.I have a passion for creating ‘functional art’, particularly tea pots, vases and dishes. I also like to make utensils for Japanese Tea Ceremony as I have been studying the Way of Tea for a long time.


 A customer favorite, the pattern of tiny wildflowers is my signature design, inspired by the beauty  and liveliness of my spring garden. 

Drawn by its mystical appearance, I have been focusing on using crystalline glazes to create pieces in recent years.  This tall lidded jar is one of my favorites, loved for its beautiful pattern and stillness.
