I will be working based in Japan from August until the end of October.

I’ll come back to my Berkeley atelier with full energy, workshop program details to be announced soon!

* Ink well in the photo above used to belong to my deceased grandfather, who was also good at Japanese calligraphy. I inherited this recently, and been grinding sumi ink in this ink stone. It’s aged, but nicely aged – it has a strong presence, reminds me of my grandpa. I feel like this ink well is putting a spell on the ink as it’s made in it, making the brush strokes bloom like lively ume plum flowers that are inscribed on its surface. I feel that it must be the power of the art and craft that have been passed on through generations.
