Eiko Maeda graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo, Japan, where she specialized in Japanese lacquer. Years later, she moved to Canada to fully pursue her passion for ceramics. Gaining a wealth of experience, she traveled back to Japan where she studied under Eiji Murofushi in Fuji. There, she studied a technique called Nerikomi, in which colored clay is used to create rich patterning, stains, and multi-layer design. Her current work focus on this technique, and she strive to express the elegance, beauty, delicacy and modesty of Japanese culture through her work.
