Playing With Fire: Past Exhibitions

Playing With Fire showcased the incredible ceramic works of both local artists and renowned Japanese master potters. This exhibition celebrated the art of traditional wood-fired pottery, featuring pieces that underwent an intense 60-hour firing process in the legendary Anagama kiln in Tokoname, Japan.

The works on display were a testament to the craftsmanship, patience, and dedication required for this traditional firing technique. Each piece bore the distinctive marks of the Anagama kiln—natural ash glazes, organic textures, and subtle color variations—achieved through the unpredictable and beautiful interaction of fire, clay, and wood. The process itself is a labour of love.

This exhibition offered a glimpse into the world of wood-fired ceramics, bridging cultures and showcasing the shared passion between both local and Japanese artists. Viewers were treated to a collection that embodied the spirit of collaboration, artistry, and the art of pottery shaped by fire.
