Our brand new documentary tells the story of one of Japan's most respected studio potters, Ken Matsuzaki. Join us for the premiere this Saturday. Click 'set reminder' to be notified. Set against the backdrop of his picturesque Mashiko studio in Japan, it gives a revealing insight into his creative journey and his philosophy on art and working practice. Born into an artistic family, Matsuzaki talks of his apprenticeship with National Living Treasure, Tatsuzo Shimaoka and the subsequent difficulties in finding his own voice. We hear how his pottery town was decimated by the terrible earthquake of 2011 and the international efforts to rebuild it. We see him at work in his studio and we are taken to his exhibitions in Japan and England and hear of his desire now to encourage younger Mashiko potters to be true to themselves as artists and promote them on a world stage. goldmarkart.com

Breathtaking how beautiful his work is. But the word beautiful cannot actually describe it.

Clay artist speaks of his learning and apprenticeship days. Going into his own career. Then the 2011 earthquake, began mentorship and philanthropy with creating opportunities for young Japanese clay artists. Ending with exceptional vase throwing demo!

When I visited Japan in the years before the Earthquake we visited Mashiko as had always been fascinated in Japanese Pottery. We saw the row of openings where the potters would sit. Tears came to my eyes. Seeing the “long Kiln” was new to me. Several of our Potters in N.Z.have visited Japan to learn from your Masters. Seeing Ken Matsuzaki’s work on this Utube is such a joy. I now understand that being a Potter is such hard work. But am hoping to have some lessons in the New Year as there is a Pottery Studio near where i live. Thank you. Bev.J

I'm just getting started with pottery at 57, but feel confident it will provide my income for my senior years. I honestly love having films like this to help me find my eclectic style.

That's not at all the way to start making pottery, especially at your age. I'm very disappointed by your words. The most important thing is to "be" clay and not to "make money." To spend time creating, it needs years to accomplish this! You must discover your soul.Dont think that videos will really help you to do this. Only tome practise and patience! You can't cheat with clay, it always takes its revenge! There are too many people around thinking that a 3 or 6 month course is enough to start themselves up. You have to discover each step, method and technique in its time, it will come on its own when "the clay feels

@@dididoo I like how your response got separated into two separate comments. I read the second one first. ”feels that you are ready”, thinking what an edifying comment Then I read the preceding comment I can only think you must be an artist. Clay is an inanimate material that only needs coercing into place by talented hands. How long it takes to get the muscle memory needed for artistic work to be achieved varies person to person. Thanks for sharing your inspiration to fastrak my artistic career.

What a marvellous film: beautifully made; and so informative. Lovely to see these shots of Mashiko (I was fortunate to meet Shimaoka-sensei there 30 years ago). Matsuzaki-san' s work is compelling, and he talks about it so well. I really enyoyed watching this. Thank you Goldmark.

Him talking about foreigners viewing pieces directly vs Japanese ppl asking "what style is this" Reminds me of non-musicians just enjoying the music while musicians will ask "was that the mixolydian scale?" And things like that haha

As a musician and an artist ... I understand and appreciate your comment ... I go to music concerts twice where I can ... the first time I go to enjoy the experience of listening. The second time I go to research. I will go to art exhibitions the same way. I go first to “look” and enjoy the experience of “looking”. Then I go a second time to research. I read books the same way and even write poetry with this double approach. Approaching “first time” experiences with appreciation and joy enriches the connection. Taking the research mind second orders the composition of experience and helps curate my internal responses grounded in joy first that gives rise to deepened understanding through proper discipline and application of values. Joy always first, understanding always second. This way the first impression is born from joy while second impression is composed and woven from care-filled questioning.
