On entering the Asobimasu studio you cannot help but be captivated by the warmth and spiritedness of this handmade ceramics brand. Asobimasu is simply the accumulation of years of pottery practice and the ingenious imagination of Kate Brouwer, Bisque Studios owner & full-time potter at Asobimasu.
Utilizing locally sourced Stoneware clay bodies, Kate creates timeless pieces, crafted with a desire to be functional as well as beautiful. Collections of tableware and vessels are formed in her Reservoir based studio. Inspired by Kate’s proclivity for flora and natural materials, the Asobimasu showroom is filled with an array of ceramic vases, large and small.
Kate’s passion for mastering the challenges of large forms and production throwing practices make up her latest workshop hosted at Bisque over an intensive weekend in August.
