DEA - A Paradise for Collectors - ‘10 Pieces’
Toru Hatta X David Collins X DEA
THRILLED to be offering this incredibly LIMITED Capsule collection of 10 pieces ONLY!!
Never to be repeated …
Back in February we had the absolute pleasure of hosting Toru-san as part of his conclusion of his World Tour. Over 400 wood fired pieces were selected to present to an adoring fan base + new devotees. As we have said, this show was highly anticipated as work is only offered every few years and it was Toru Hatta’s first visit to Australia.
During that time DEA organised a Toru Hatta wheel demonstration in David Collin’s divine studio overlooking the lush pastures and bucolic seaside landscape of Berry. It was fascinating to watch Toru throw with such ease and assuredness as Fumiko translated … what a treat. We had a delicious lunch and the 10 pieces were left with David Collins for firing and glazing.
NOW they are here!
It’s incredible to see these sublime pots in a glaze other than Hatta-san’s signature Kurokake, Shirokake and Matsukake glazes.
David Collins carefully applied Shino, Tenmoku, and Ash Glaze. The tenmoku is from a Bernard Leach recipe and the Shino is from a John Britt recipe.
The ash glaze is made from the ash collected from David’s winter fireplace and comes from a combination of South Coast of NSW wattle (acacia) and eucalyptus wood.
We think the results are incredible. Each piece is stamped with DEA + TH + DC indicating the collaboration between us three.
We can’t decide which is our favourite.
JUMP online or visit DEA East to collect these rare pieces.
We also have a limited stock of signed Toru Hatta books in both stores.
Thank you again Toru Hatta & David Collins for being part of such a special day.
A selection of vases, bowls, teapots and cups by David Collins can be found at both DEA East & West locations.
A limited range of Hatta’s Japanese wares are also available at both stores.
