Mashiko's Harvey Young Exhibition in Ube, Yamaguchi
Just a quick exhibition note, the ever-talented Mashiko-based potter Harvey Young is having a large--hear close to 400 pieces--exhibition at Arts and Crafts Galaxy Fukunaga (phone 0836-31-0085) in Ube, Yamaguchi prefecture from June 2-June 11. Harvey's been at the wheel and every other essential studio station for the past few months preparing and the DM card shows him in his preparation dash. The gallery does not have a web page. At home I very much enjoy using a Young beer mug with stamped turtle, it has a delightful amber ame-yu glaze that makes it look like it's already filled with a Guiness; cheers Harvey and break a leg!
