Expert Tutelage at Art Schools

Takato Sasaki contributed his short piece of writing to a Japanese paperback book

I am pleased to inform you that I had written and contributed a short piece of writing titled “Expert Tutelage at Art Schools” to a Japanese paperback book called Ceramics: make - move - use (Edited by Mikio Sasaki & Masanori Saito, 2018).

Basically, this paperback is a collection of selected short essays written by educators, researchers and specialists on ceramics. Every essay introduces world ceramics and system of production, distribution and consumption of ceramic works. My writing is a kind of autobiographical narrative analysis based on my own study abroad experience at the world-leading art schools in London: Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London and Royal College of Art.
