Teruri Yamawaki やまわき てるりÉlément de liste 2
Teruri Yamawaki was born in 1989. She decided to dedicate her life to art and clay relatively late, following various life experiences, which greatly enhanced her creativity. Teruri spent several years outside of Japan in countries such as Indonesia and Portugal.
Teruri expresses her feelings and thoughts through her ceramic works; building a piece from scratch with clay is like chanting sutras for her. Through the mysterious presence of her works, she hopes that the audience will feel at ease. She sees her creation as the birth of a new friend, or even an amulet that would bring peace to the viewer. Not only now, but for eternity. Indeed, when a ceramic work is fired, it will live longer than us and will pass on that warmth to the future.
She currently resides and works in Kanazawa Utatsuyama Kogei Kobo.
