Mike's Pots

New Craftsman, St. Ives - Akiko Hirai: Chapters

Akiko Hirai: Chapters

May 27th to June 24th 2022

Chapters is a joint exhibition featuring the work of Akiko Hirai and her husband the weaver Jason Collingwood. The exhibition includes a set of 12 moon jars created by Akiko to reflect the lunar cycle and celebrate the closure of Jason's career as an internationally reknowned weaver.

The exhibition went live on the internet two days before the gallery pre-view and Akiko's pots were all sold within minutes.
