Akiko Graham Hi, my name is Akiko; I'm from Hokkaido, Japan. I've been a potter in Seattle for eighteen years. My pottery is all handmade — wheel thrown or slab built — of stoneware clay. It is fired in electric kilns at about 2200°F. Although I make things like fountains, flower pots, vases and candle holders, most of my pottery is tableware—for traditional and new menus, for international food—because I like to cook and eat as much as to make pottery. |

I make pottery dishes for everyone, for everyday use and in restaurants. You can see my pottery in many restaurants and other businesses:

It is also featured in the Clay
Art Web Guide, the October issue of Gourmet magazine in the article on Café Juanita (p. 228), and Jungle City.
My pottery is featured in many shows and exhibitions, including the Folklife Festival. It's also featured in Kanako's blog, and on Brian Parent's sailboat Vellela (Brian says, "They fit my new varnished teak pottery shelves on my boat perfectly.")
I accept orders of any size—small or large—and am happy to serve as your wedding registry.
Although all pottery is breakable, my pottery dishes are safe for food, dishwashers, and ovens. Some of my pottery has Japanese characters inscribed on it.
My studio is in West Seattle [view map]. You are welcome to visit me by appointment, or you can visit my booth in fairs around Seattle. My show room is at 10017 - 21st Ave SW, Seattle, and is also open by appointment only.
Please call me with any questions you have, or to request a catalog. You may place an order by calling me at 206-763-3108, or e-mailing me at akiko@akikospottery.com.
I hope you enjoy my pottery!
