In Miniature

3 March 2022 - 26 March 2022

In Minature is Yuta Segawa’s second solo exhibition with The Gallery. Originally from Japan, Yuta Segawa lives and works in London and specialises in making miniature pots. His pots are thrown individually by hand demonstrating his creative skill, craftsmanship and dedication to pushing the boundaries of his own practice. Segawa works primarily from observing traditional Asian pottery forms developed over centuries in Japan, China and Korea. This exhibition will debut new forms and glazes including a series in silver, pewter and gold.

Born: 1988
Place of Birth: Shizuoka, Japan

Originally from Japan, Yuta Segawa lives and works in London specialising in producing miniature pottery. He honed his ceramic skills in Japan, China, and London; completing a BA at Musashion Art University, Toyko and his MA at Camberwell College of Arts, London. All of Segawa’s miniature pots are thrown individually by hand and he has more than five hundred original glazes which he applies to each miniature. Working in miniature poses a real challenge – testing the limits of what a human body can make on such a small scale. Segawa’s work has been exhibited both in the UK and internationally.
