Tokyo Exhibition

I would like to invite you all to my 17th annual exhibition at Ebiya Bijutsuten (Ebiya Gallery) in Nihombashi,Tokyo. I am honoured to be able to exhibit here once again, and Miyake san was kind enough to write the following introduction;

Concerning Euan Craig

“My vessels first become complete the moment they are used by the hands of my guests.” These are the words which always spring from Euan’s mouth and they express his passion as a potter. For over 17 years, since I first met Euan till this very day, this has been an unchanging quality imbued in his work.

Always full of smiles to greet you, under any circumstances, Euan is a potter with a truly gentle heart. I cannot help but believe that it is because of this that every single vessel which is born of his hands returns a heart warming message from everyone who uses them.

Together with Euan, we have accumulated these annual exhibitions one by one. I am blessed to have shared such wonderful times with him, and I am a truly happy man.

It is simply my heartfelt hope that in times to come, 10 years, 20 years…and even 100 years hence, Euan’s vessels will continue at everyones side, to be loved and find treasured use, forever and always.

「私の器は、お客様の手元で使っていただいて時、初めて完成するんですよ！」
この言葉は、ユアンがいつも口にする陶芸家としての熱い思いでございます。

それは、私がユアンと出会ってから今日を迎えるまでの約１７年間、けして変わる事なく、その作品に込められてきました。

どんな時でも笑顔いっぱいで迎えてくれるユアンは本当に心の優しい陶芸家でございます。だからこそ、彼の手から生まれる器の一つ一つが、皆様からの暖かきメッセージとなって帰ってくるのだと私は思えてなりません。

ユアンと共に、こつこつと積み重ねて来た毎年の個展。こんなにも素晴らしい時間に恵まれました私は、本当に幸せ者でございます。

この先、１０年・２０年・・・そして１００年先も、ずっとずっといつまでもユアンの器が、皆様のそばで愛され続け、大切に使われてゆく事を、ただただ心より願うばかりでございます。
