Akio Nukaga And Friends At Heath San Francisco

If you love the Zen of Japanese design, you won’t want to miss the upcoming show at Heath San Francisco.  Japanese master potter Akio Nukaga and a few of his friends are in town, and Heath SF will be showcasing their latest work July 11 – August 8, 2014.  In addition to Akio’s ceramics, functional and sculptural pieces by woodworker Hideki Takayama and hand-dyed Japanese cloths known as tenugui, created by Kawamanu, will be featured.

The celebration begins this weekend with an Opening Reception on Saturday, July 11, 2014.  Sunday, July 12, will be a day of demonstrations:  Watch Akio throw pottery; learn how to sand, oil, and finish a wooden spoon by Takayama; or join Megumi Inouye for a tenugui wrapping demonstration.

Even if you can’t make it to this weekend’s celebration, you’ve got the rest of the month – and part of August - to visit Heath SF and enjoy the amazing artwork produced by Akio Nukaga and Friends.  The show runs through August 8, 2014.
