“It is my intention to transfer the leaf’s beauty and detail into my ceramic work, using it as my own language to weave new stories for objects.” (Hitomi Hosono)
After growing up and studying in Japan, Hosono studied at the Danmarks Designkole in Copenhagen (2005-6), before receiving a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in London (2009). In 2017-8 she was artist in residence at Wedgwood.
Hosono is known for intricate ceramic vessels inspired by Wedgwood Jasperware that reference the natural world and botanical studies, and are known for their delicacy, movement, light and depth.
