Returning to the Time When Making Things Was Fun ── A Report on the "How Lisa Larson Made Things" Exhibition (PLAY! MUSEUM)
Summary
The "How Lisa Larson Made Things" exhibition is being held at PLAY! MUSEUM in Tachikawa, Tokyo, celebrating the work of renowned Swedish ceramicist Lisa Larson, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 92. Unlike previous exhibitions that focused on her unique works and artistry, this exhibition spotlights the entire production process, starting from Larson's original prototypes to how artisans create familiar pieces like lions and cats for mass production. The exhibition features materials, videos, and photographs detailing the manufacturing process and the work of domestic and international craftspeople involved. Structured in three parts, it covers the creation process, includes workshops, and presents case studies on caring for ceramics, offering visitors of all ages a chance to engage with the creative process.
