Like so many of you I’m testing the waters with a move to BlueSky for a fresh start and new adventures. I’ll still be posting here for now, but I’ll be sharing ceramics, updates, and behind-the-scenes moments over there too. If you’re curious, come join me and let’s see where this goes! #potter#ceramicartist#陶芸家#アトランタ#atlantaartist

The art of making Matcha bowls always takes me back to childhood memories with my grandmother, who loved preparing her Matcha. These porcelain greenware bowls are drying and waiting to be bisque fired. There’s something special about crafting these pieces—more than just pottery, it’s about tradition and memory😍 #matcha #matchabowl#茶碗

My 2025 is off to a busy start. Here’s a glimpse of my studio view. I’m currently preparing for two group shows and this year’s NCECA via Northern Clay Center. These Alien Mugs will be heading to the bisque firing soon. @northernclaycenter @nceca

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be teaching my surface design techniques for two weeks this summer at the Haystack School of Craft in Deer Isle, Maine! @haystack_school Workshop Schedule: Session 4, July 27 - August 8, 2025. Due to recent natural disasters, the extended application deadline for Summer Workshops is Friday, February 7. In this workshop, we’ll explore the contrast between two clays—porcelain and a dark clay—enjoying the differences in color, texture, shape, and mood. Space is limited, so if you’re interested, be sure to sign up soon!

I’m designing hot chocolate mugs for an upcoming show, and I wanted to create something both cozy and functional. The wide lips are perfect for holding a generous swirl of whipped cream or marshmallows, and the three small feet were inspired by my love for Ferrero Rocher—because why not add a little whimsy? Can’t wait to see how these turn out! #hotchocolate#hotchocolatemug#handmademug#陶芸#チョコレート

Today is a sad day as I pick up my remaining works from @signature_atl. This beautiful gallery was my very first top-notch craft gallery to carry my work, and it was only 10 minutes from my home! It’s hard to see this 62-year-old gallery close, and I will miss it greatly. I’m incredibly grateful to have met and befriended Carr, the gallery owner. I wish her all the best in her new endeavor. #signature_atl#goodbye#goodluck#mygallery

Making tea light holders is one of the most delicate and difficult tasks for me. The detailed work takes a significant amount of time, and porcelain can be so finicky with its drying time. About 3 out of 10 usually end up breaking during the process. But when I see them come out of the kiln in perfect shape, it brings me such joy. There’s something special about how they look when they’re lit at night—it’s completely worth all the effort and patience. #キャンドルホルダー#蝋燭#白磁#porcelain#tealightholder

I have a few of these toothbrush holders(or bud vases) @thebeehiveatl 👋 #budvase#一輪挿し#toothbrushholder

Purple Garlic Keeper🧄🧄🧄 My garlic keeper is a very unique creation. It can hold about 7 or 8 bulbs, and the air circulation from the cutout holes, along with the lid that blocks out light, helps keep the garlic fresh for a long time. The ventilation prevents mold and sprouting, while the dark environment ensures the garlic stays in the ideal conditions for longer shelf life. I’m really proud of how well it works! This one is available at my online shop now👋 “lidded jars” section at www.masasasakiceramics.com #garlicjar#garlic#liddedjar#蓋物#ニンニク
