Stone Monkey Ceramics - Andrew Pearson
Andrew Pearson is the only Western bonsai potter to have been invited to, and entered one of Japan's major exhibitions.
In January 2014, he placed 2 entries; a glazed trio of pots, and an unglazed trio into the '10th Annual Modern Shohin Container Artist Exhibition', at the Gafu Ten. Not only was he the first Westener to enter, his unglazed entry (as seen below) took the gold prize!
Stone Monkey Ceramics are beautifully crafted pots, with; superb attention to detail, clean straight lines, wonderful glazes, and stunning relief carvings.
The glazed trio entry is currently in this collection, and can be viewed here.
