Growing up with a ceramicist father in Japan, I spent much of my childhood in my father's ceramic studio. My father, Sansei Suzuki, is a celadon ceramicist in Odawara, Japan. I had been initially trained in wheel-throwing by him in the late 90s but it was only after some years of an on and off relationship with pottery that I started working on a full-time basis, creating my own style of pottery. Settling on PEI and setting up my own studio allowed me to be able to dedicate my time exclusively to Neriage pottery, which I started producing in small quantities for retail shows and sales in 2012. Over the years, I continually refined the techniques that I had discovered and developed, and occasionally consulted my father for his critique and review of my completed works. Recently, my Neriage works have been selected to be included in juried exhibitions in Japan and the UK.
