Shingu Sayaka (born 1979) is a contemporary ceramic artist based in Osaka, Japan. After having graduated from the Osaka University of Arts in 2003, she joined an apprenticeship program at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga, Japan, where she was deeply moved by the work of contemporary artist, Sugiura Yasuyoshi. Her work is celebrated for its naturalistic forms, particularly for her ceramic flower sculptures, which often are constructed from mixed clay with slip and glaze using intricate hand building and glazing methods that show great restraint in their craft and construction.
