Kayoko Hoshino
Kayoko Hoshino (星野 佳代子, Hoshino Kayoko, born 1949, Kyushu, Japan) is a Japanese ceramicist. Hoshino first developed an interest in ceramics while studying European history in Kyoto, the ceramics capital of Japan.[1] Her work draws inspiration from nature. She says of her process, “I often go for a walk in the mountains around this area as a break between working sessions, and I often feel a longing to express the natural expansiveness and monumentality of the landscape in my work.”[2]

Artistic Process[edit]
Hoshino mixes red and white clay together by kneading them until she notices the clay creating a uniquely organic form. “Sometimes in the moment when I am kneading I notice that the shape is beautiful, with lovely movement," she says. Upon reaching this moment, she utilizes a wire tool to texturize the surface along the clay body’s contours and to hollow out the piece to accentuate its natural form.[5]
