Her work focuses on the relationship between clay, touch and the gradual changes that occur through daily use. Using coarse clay and carefully controlled firing methods, she creates softly textured vessels with pale, weathered surfaces that emphasise the natural character of the material. Kagamihara graduated from Kyoto Prefectural Ceramic Technical College in 2020 and the Tajimi City Ceramic Design Institute in 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__block product__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__content rte\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/collections\/airi-kagamihara\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead more about Airi's practice and view her full collection..\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airi Kagamihara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57250265301365,"sku":"AKA261-2","price":410.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/files\/7R1A9041.jpg?v=1782315066","url":"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/products\/airi-kagamihara-flat-teapot-i","provider":"Maud and Mabel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
