Takeshi Yasuda is a Japanese potter who was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1943. Yasuda trained at the Daisei-Gama Pottery in Mashiko from 1963 to 1966 and established his first studio there. His early work consisted of ash-glazed stoneware, after which he explored Sancai and Creamware. Most recently Yasuda has been working with celadon-glazed porcelain.
Yasuda settled in Britain in 1973. He has taught at various art schools and universities across the UK and was Professor of Applied Arts at the University of Ulster. From 2005 until 2010 Yasuda served as Director of the Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China, after which he established his own studio in the Jingdezhen Sculpture Factory. His work is held in major public and private collections worldwide, including Victoria and Albert Museum.

About the Work
Slip cast Jingdezhen porcelain with Qingbai glaze.
Qingbai is a transparent glaze that pools to greeny blue.
Since working in China Yasuda has developed a range of slip-cast ware. His approach is similar to his thrown work in that he embraces but also challenges the process, but the results are very different for the same reason. Conventionally the seam marks produced when using multi part moulds are fettled away before firing; Yasuda retains them as a decorative feature. He also adds further similar decoration with lines engraved into the mould so that each pot is identical. In slip casting there is no plastic stage: the clay goes from liquid to solid before it can be released from the mould. The character of the form is therefore determined by the rigidity of the plaster. Yasuda has embraced this and designed forms that are severe, geometric and utterly different in feel from the thrown work.
Some industrial designers mimic the appearance of the hand- made. They cast forms that replicate the finger marks of throwing or use glazes that bring a degree of randomness. It is interesting that the hand is completely absent as a trace in the making of Yasuda cast work and his use of glaze is almost clinical.
What should we make of this work? As Walter Benjamin discusses artists have historically used mechanical reproduction such as printmaking to produce work that is more affordable than the one-off painting or sculpture. Fashion designers conventionally produce one-off garments as well as ranges for mass consumption. But to purchase one of the fine cast jugs or a set of elegant cups and saucers is not to have a more affordable version of Yasuda’s thrown work or a devalued copy. They are a body of enquiry that exists in its own right. This apparent conflict is completely consistent with Yasuda’s Japanese heritage where virtual high tech urban intensity sits next to craft practice of extraordinary materiality and age. They bring a fascinating dimension to this exhibition as another iteration of Yasuda’s insatiable curiosity as well as a material response to the challenge we all face as individuals in a post industrial society.
In this instance the photographs are for illustration purposes only, there may be very slight differences between each pot

What our customers say
Wendy
The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
