Japanese import atelier WAZA Japan Labo is hosting TEA BOWL, an exhibition run in collaboration with IMISO Ceramics Studio and Sarah Walters Gallery, showcasing limited-edition Japanese-inspired tea bowls crafted by local ceramicists.
After speaking with Sarah Walters Gallery and IMISO Ceramics Studio, WAZA soon found itself with a list of 17 local potters, each of whom has their own distinctive style and were interested in making tea bowls, inspired by Japan. “The brief was open and intentionally non-restrictive: Feel free to look at traditional Japanese styles, think of your favourite tea experience, and then give us a South African interpretation of a tea bowl (chawan – 茶 碗),” explains the WAZA team.
The limited-edition tea bowls, created by Andile Dyalvane, Paul de Jongh, Nkuthazo Dyalvane, Madoda Fani, Amelia Jacobs, Zizipho Poswa, Lungiswa Joe, Ralph Johnson, Nico Liebenberg, Hennie Meyer, Lisa Ringwood, Lindsay Scott, Martin Swart, David Walters, Sarah Walters, Sinethemba Xola and Yogi de Beer, will be on sale to the public from 14 – 31 July 2020.
Each potter will have a limited number of tea bowls for sale at WAZA Japan Labo in Cape Town (by appointment only), as well as via an electronic catalogue (email info@wazashop.co.za). To secure a time slot to visit the exhibition, click here.
