She will illustrate and describe the 8-chambered wood-fired kiln at Yomitan Yaki in Okinawa as well as show examples of many styles of pottery from Mashiko and other famous sites. There will be an opportunity following the presentation to meet and talk with Frederica and view tea ceremony bowls and utensils.
