The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat: Lyrical Ceramics
Edward Lear's famous poem provided the theme for a delightful sculpture by Japanese ceramic master, Shoko Mafune. She'd smile at the thought his playful rhyme might draw you closer to her artwork - that's what she wants. Shoko uses her clay figures to reach out, as if pottery is her special language to engage with the world.
