Nancy
Fuller
is Taiwanese by birth but was raised in Scotland and had originally trained
as a printmaker before discovering wood-fired ceramics when she returned to
Taiwan 7 years ago. After preliminary studies she underwent a month-long
residency at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan with the support of
the Craft Pottery Charitable Trust. However, she then took the unusual step
of seeking a Shigaraki anagama master to study under and was fortunate to be
introduced to Shigeji Suzuki. A year later, with support from the Great
Britain Sasakawa Foundation, she embarked on her training with Suzuki-san
that saw her immerse herself in the language, culture and environment of this
ancient pottery producing region.
Now back in Scotland she is hoping to build an anagama kiln in the not too
distant future to start producing work here but in the meantime this
exhibition will show the pots that Nancy brought back with her from
Shigaraki, where under the tutelage of Shigeji Suzuki she gained a true
insight into the aesthetics of a centuries old ceramic tradition.
