Aaron Scythe is a New Zealand potter who is known for his hybrid of cultural influences. His work reflects both his New Zealand and M?ori heritage, as well as his time living in Japan.
Scythe was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1967. He first became interested in pottery at a young age, and got a job pouring slip into molds as a teenager. In 1988, he moved to Sydney, Australia to study ceramics at the East Sydney Tech Ceramic School. There, he was introduced to older Japanese and Korean pots, which had a profound impact on his work.
In 1993, Scythe moved to Japan to further his studies. He lived in Mashiko, a pottery town in Tochigi Prefecture, and studied under Koie Ryoji, a master potter. During this time, he developed his skills in wood-firing and glazes, and began to develop his own unique style.
