Renowned Japanese ceramicist Masayuki Miyajima recently led a daylong workshop on “The Traditions of Pottery” in the School of Art. A practitioner of the simple-yet-elegant Mashiko style, Miyajima, along with wife and fellow potter Darice Veri (left), spent several weeks in residence with the Visiting East Asian Professionals (VEAP) Program in Arts & Sciences. While in St. Louis, the pair also participated in a VEAP art history course, exhibited their work in the Gallery of Art’s Teaching Gallery and lectured at the Saint Louis Art Museum.
