David Kuraoka (born 1946) is an American ceramic artist. He was born in Lihue, Hawaii and received a masters degree from San José State University (San Jose, California) in 1971. He is a professor of art and head of the ceramics department of San Francisco State University and maintains studios in both San Francisco and Kauai, Hawaii.[1] At the age of 35 he was awarded the Hawaii Living Treasure award.
He is best known for large ceramic pieces that are first thrown on a wheel, then further shaped by hand, burnished, covered with rock salt and copper carbonate, and fired in an open pit. He also makes more traditionally shaped ceramics with grayish-green celadon glaze and has begun having some of his organically shaped ceramic pieces cast in bronze.[2]
The College of San Mateo (San Mateo County, California), the Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, the Hawaii State Art Museum, the Rotterdam Modern Museum of Art, the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Utah State University, and the White House Art Collection (Washington, D. C.) are among the public collections holding work by David Kuraoka.[3]
