The ceramic/pottery artist Noriko has been working with clay almost 30 years and in this business for 25 years. She studied pottery at Glen Echo Pottery, situated at Glen Echo Park, one of the National Parks overlooking Potomac River in Washington DC. As a Japanese native, Noriko made sure that all of her art pieces came through her own eyes and senses of who she really is. Last 30 years she has b

een focusing on creating clay pieces with her love of nature, birds and animals, channeled through her true self. Besides working with clay, she studied Japanese calligraphy, Japanese flower arrangement 'Ikebana' and Japanese Taiko drumming,

Most recent 17 years she learned Hawaiian cultures including: Outrigger canoe paddling and Hawaiian chants. Her passion to animals includes:
- Adopting dogs from SPCA
- Bird rescue and
- Volunteering at Farm Animal Sanctuary. Clay is the easiest for Noriko to channel her creativity in to forms. Her pieces begin on the potter's wheel, altered in various ways and then sculpted and decorated. Her pottery and designs are organic, yet elegant. Pottery has such a long complicated process, so there are always excitements from sketching the ideas to opening the kiln door. Since they are made with spirited and loving hands, Noriko wishes to touch many people deeply through the beauty and magic she creates in her art.
