Ayumi Horie is a studio potter in the Hudson Valley of New York. She makes functional pots, many with animals on them. I'm a sucker for monkeys, and some of her mugs have some great ones! She definitely has her own style. Something that really astounded me was her invention of a dry throwing technique.... She makes it look easy, but I can't even conceive throwing a bowl without water.
Ayumi and friends are hosting a fundraising auction to help raise money for relief in Japan. The auction will go live on Friday, March 18th and continue through to Sunday, March 20th at 9 pm EST. Many Japanese artists and artists with ties to Japan are donating work for the cause, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity relief for Japan. The facebook page is HERE.
Even if you are unable to participate in the auction please help spread the word!
