Founded in 2023 by Hiroko Aono-Billson, a•pottery (often referred to as Aono Pottery) is a Brighton-based ceramics studio rooted in the Japanese Mingei folk art movement. Originally from Shikoku, Japan, Aono-Billson draws on her mother’s collection of functional Japanese ceramics to inform her craft. After a career in textiles, she returned to clay, establishing her garden shed-studio to create pieces that celebrate the ritual of daily meals.
