In the archival version of our podcast, we bring back the voices of potters from our early Print publication.

In today’s episode, Gerry Williams interviews Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011). His feature of Toshiko was published in our Vol. 21 No. 2, June 1993 issue. The interview lasted over 1 and a half hours and we have split this conversation into two parts; this first part covers Toshiko’s upbringing and early career, part two features Toshiko’s contemporary work, creative practice, and philosophy.
