John Ikeda
Price
In 1971, John Ikeda established a studio pottery in Lethbridge, Alberta shortly after graduation from the University of Lethbridge, with a BA in Fine Arts. Creating functional pottery and sculpture in high-fired stoneware and porcelain in his studio in 1978, he moved east and established his current studio in St. Bernardin, Ontario.
Set in a rural setting close to nature, the adventure of acquiring unfamiliar practical skills of carpentry, plumbing, electrical mechanics, arboriculture horticulture, and firewood processing is a challenge for the artist. However, it is rewarding for the goal of self-reliance and seeking a meaningful personal integration in the creation of a life and of art.
