BIOGRAPHY

Minako Yamane-Lee is known for coil built and wheel thrown teapots, bowls, and decorative objects.  Heavily influenced by Japanese objects and decorative motifs, Yamane-Lee frequently includes Japanese inscriptions in her work. Wall fans (suehiro), drinking vessels, bamboo leaf plates, etc. reflect deep cultural ties to Japan.[1] She describes her work as “poetry of clay” and finds her inspiration in Japanese culture and objects.
