Handcrafted ceramics are more than functional objects, they carry an artist’s philosophy, cultural lineage, and creative intuition. We’re pleased to welcome back Los Angeles-based ceramics artist Jonathan Yamakami, whose sculptural vessels transform nature’s raw textures into refined, expressive forms. Drawing inspiration from sea life, botanical growth, and geological formations, his work reflects a thoughtful balance between tradition and contemporary design. As a third-generation Japanese-Brazilian artist, Yamakami brings a layered, cross-cultural perspective to his practice.

Experience Jonathan Yamakami’s work in-person at this special return pop-up. Explore the textures and forms up close, learn about his process, and shop one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces that harmonizes with ikebana and natural arrangements.
