Less is more. Let the clay do the work. I have applied this philosophy in my workshops since the early 1990s at cultural centers, summer camps, private art studios, galleries and museums in Germany, Japan and in the US. -Simon Keller There would be no art of tea, had there been no tea bowl. Timeless and universal, the "chawan" is a multi-purpose vessel. The zeitgeist of 1590s Japan elevated this humble crockery to the centerpiece. -Simon Keller
