About Noriko: 

"I was born in Osaka and have lived in North London since 2003. In July 2017, I decided to become a full-time potter and develop my own designs and shapes.

I love nature and am deeply inspired by it - Trees, ocean scenery, the mountains, waterfalls, and animals are all inspirations to me. Every day I explore finding new shapes, sizes, weight and colours to express my inspiration within my ceramics.

I used force of gravity for glazing each piece to creating one of kind ceramics.

When it comes to ceramics, I am deeply influenced and inspired by the Japanese Master Potter Mr. Shoji Hamada. His spontaneous designs and clean shapes are what I strive to achieve in my own work."
