“In my opinion the best tools we have are our own two hands, as they can craft with expression and feeling where other tools can’t. I hope the pottery I make can bring calmness of mind in a world with so much stress and worry.”

The organic shapes and rough surfaces of his pottery contrasted with a use of fine glazes and careful firing are the calling card of potter Ma Xijun. Each piece of pottery can be considered a product of experience, from carefully selected clay to glaze finish, even the smallest cup is a great realization of years of artistic dedication and an intimate understanding of tea.
