This is from back in September, at the Carnegie Gallery in Dundas, Ontario. Kayo, as some of you might know, was my father's teacher and mentor in pottery, and has been a lifelong friend and inspiration to my whole family. Being able to see him and Diane and share in their wonderful show was a complete joy. And of course, his work, pottery and paintings (which he was showing for the first time), were absolutely stunning! Here are some pictures, which don't do his work justice! A little more technical info: Kayo's work is all handmade on a potter's wheel (some with alterations), glazed with his own personally developed glazes, and fired to cone 10 or sometimes 11 in his gas kiln. The paintings are done simply with black acrylic applied to a canvas with either a brush or stiff broom. Enjoy!

Peter, I am giddy this morning to look at this post. Thank you for sharing with everyone. I especially like how you mentioned it was their first showing. What wonderful work, power to the potter people! (say that 5 times fast)

glad you enjoyed it Mia :D I should clarify, it's not his first gallery show, it's just the first one he's done in a while since he's so reclusive and busy :p Kayo usually only sells his work to private galleries in New York that basically buy up all his stock.
