| The word "Seto-mono"
has historically been used in Japan to designate the ceramics
in
any style.
The origin of this word is founded in the high regard attributed
to the potters of Seto City.
Based on their cityfs incredibly rich and unique deposits of
ceramic and glass materials, the contemporary artists of Seto
City continue to build this rich tradition.
During "Artist-in-Residence in Seto" from 2000-2005,
intended to share our ceramic tradition with artists throughout
the world, 33 artists visited here and we had fruitful experience
through them.
After that we restarted "SETO International Ceramic & Glass Arts
Exchange Program"
in the new style, composed of two seasons and we'll invite 4 artists
from field of ceramic and glass arts.
Our purpose is always the same, cultural exchange through the
making process and making a new possibility of artistic activity.
We expect your participation in our program.
