    Shaping Clay

    Women artists in contemporary Japanese ceramics 21 May - 4 June 2026
    Dai Ichi Arts is pleased to present a summer exhibition of celebrated and emergent women artists in contemporary Japanese ceramics. 
     

    Building upon the current presentations of Radical Clay—a traveling U.S. exhibition highlighting Japanese women artists working in ceramics from the celebrated Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz Collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics—this exhibition continues and expands that conversation. Alongside new works by artists associated with Radical Clay, the exhibition introduces established, emerging and innovative voices whose practices are reshaping the future of contemporary Japanese ceramics today.
