Acne Pottery Studio 森安幸代

Originally from Miyazaki Prefecture, Sachiyo Moriyasu studied ceramics in California before completing further ceramic studies at Kyushu Zokei Art College. Working as acne pottery studio, she creates everyday tableware and animal-inspired ceramics amid the sea and mountains of Fukuoka’s Itoshima Peninsula.


Her animals have vivid personalities, expressed through carefully observed details and lively expressions. Antique-inspired colours and decoration give her vessels and sculptural pieces the feeling of objects with stories to tell.


Alongside functional tableware, she enjoys making the little "extras" that add colour to life. These thoughtful, characterful objects invite a second glance and a smile, making room for joy in the everyday.
