| Originally from the San Francisco area, Saito now resides in Port Townsend, Washington and has been working in clay since 1970. She has received many awards and grants and has given lectures and workshops to both students and professionals. Her work is represented in museums, universities, galleries, and corporate and private collections across the U.S.
"One of my favorite shapes is the teapoit," Saito said. "With handles and spouts, they present a challenging and intriguing design problem. Like a poet writing haiku, the ceramicist making a teapot must create something unique within a defined form." Bright colors, contrasting textures, and intrivite detail are all part of the distinctive quality of her work. She focuses on curvilinear shapes for the basis of her teapots, using whimsical elements to add fun details. |
