OLD GROWTH STUDIO

I began to feel fascinated by the sheer beauty of ceramics on my late twenties, during the years I lived in Taiwan, and my recurrent visits to Japan, where I chose the name 原森, Yuen Sen, which means Old Growth or Primary Forest. This happened after having embarked on a long and slow self-exploratory journey around the world, where I deepened into its cultural diversity, aesthetics, sociology and spirituality; things which usually converge in their folk arts and crafts.

This, together with my inner desire of expressing through art the deep connection we all have in common, despite our superficial differences, encouraged me to start learning ceramics through courses, books and a ton of practice.  And now, I believe is time to start sharing that work, as well as creating content to show the process and techniques which may inspire others to get in closer contact with cermics.
