About Kenmoku Pottery
Run by Konomi who creates a range of elevated and beautiful, yet functional ceramics that aim to seamlessly blend with your lifestyle
You can find sculptures which bring to life rejected items, such as recycled aluminium roofs
Using a noborigama (climbing kiln), you'll find pieces that encapsulate the Mingei philosophy that values everyday, handcrafted objects made for practical daily use rather than for display or prestige
