Ikigai
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that roughly translates to "a reason for being" or "a reason to wake up in the morning." It represents the intersection of four elements: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Finding your ikigai involves discovering what brings you joy, what you excel at, what the world needs from you, and what you can sustain yourself with financially. It's seen as the convergence of these four aspects that leads to a fulfilling and purposeful life.
The Human Touch

Lisa Tantillo & Zack Callaghan are a team of collaborative ceramicists based in Atlanta, GA. Both attended the University of Georgia School of Art and tour the National Fine Art circuit full time selling their handmade creations. Their monster themed functional ware symbolizes different aspects of the human psyche and seek to shine a comical light upon the inevitable demons all people face in the journey of life. Their inspiration stems from world folklore spanning from Norse mythology and Japanese Yokai tales to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The pair work in porcelain, throwing forms on the wheel, making molds and hand sculpting faces on each piece, mixing their own glazes and firing cone 6 oxidation and Raku.
