Itsuko Zenitani has been a member of The Potters' Studio since the early 1980s after relocating to the US from Kyoto, Japan.
Her work has been included in public art exhibitions at museums including the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. For the past several decades she has developed unique throwing and decorating techniques and complex glaze and firing formulas.
Some of her most difficult work includes hand-throwing fine porcelain to an almost translucent thinness while retaining strength and durability of the pieces. Her most beautiful hand decorations are with celadon or tenmoku glazes and intricate hand-carvings. Most pieces are carefully high fired in gas kilns to achieve the desired look and hardness.

Jacqueline Proulx comes from Quebec, where she had a studio for many years on the St. Lawrence River. She does sculpture and functional ware. Her latest production explores different ways of using yellow salt and oribe glazes over porcelaineous and stoneware bodies.
She also does watercolor and this is seen in her use of very delicate and subtle tones and hues. Jacqueline has a very personal approach to naked clay , where she uses lightly colored slips applied with a watercolor technique as a background for the reduction process.
