Since 2002, the Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery in Northern Japan sponsors an Artist-in-Residence program during the month of July. Twelve ceramic artists and potters from around the world are selected to participate. The program is focused on the exchange of techniques and ideas about ceramic art and wood fire. By working together and freely sharing information, the sponsors seek to encourage mutual understanding and cooperation among potters throughout the world.
