Terunobu Hirata

Terunobu Hirata is a Melbourne based potter who has been working in stoneware and porcelain for over 25 years. Studying at the Warrandyte Potter’s Cottage in the early 1990’s, Terunobu originally trained as a chef and for many years worked at Kuni’s Japanese restaurant, one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Australia.

 

Terunobu’s work displays an extremely thoughtful approach, combining technical prowess drawn from years of study and close attention to Japanese traditions and mastery of glaze with a fine individual sensitivity.
