John Baymore was asked to represent the United States at a formal panel discussion concerning the future of this Festival as an artistic and cultural exchange, and to explore ideas for the future.  

Panel participants, left to right: Asami Noriaki; Festival Organizing Committee and MC, Matsumiya Ryouji; President of Festival, ceramic artist from Shigaraki, Gary Moler acting as translator; Wali Hayes, India; Kim Young Moon, Korea; Kodaira Yukio, Japan; Vladimir Groh, Czech Republic; John Baymore, United States; Ian Natrass, Canada; Kinga Evelin Verbiro, Hungary; Maro Kerassioti, Greece; and Steve Mattison, Wales.


A group of interested public visitors watches John as he assembles a handled flower arranging basket at his worktable. 


  

Here John is putting the finishing touches on a twisted flute vase form and a faceted flower arranging basket that are both to be fired unglazed in the large Kanayama noborigama.
