福岡県飯塚市にて手吹き硝子を制作された横山秀樹さんの硝子展を開催いたします。横山さんは倉敷ガラスの創始者・小谷眞三氏に師事し、自らの感覚を頼りに硝子の仕事を深めてこられました。窯には温度計を置かず、その日の気温や窯の状態、溶けた硝子のやわらかさを見極めながら制作された器には、均一ではない豊かな揺らぎが残されています。やわらかな輪郭や、硝子の中に浮かぶ気泡、わずかな厚みの違い。光を受けることでその景色は移ろい、朝夕の光や置かれる場所によっても表情を変えていきます。計ったようにつくられたものではなく、硝子が自然にそのかたちへ収まっていったような伸びやかさがあり、日々使う中でその魅力が少しずつ深まっていきます。本展では、コップや鉢、皿をはじめ、花器なども併せてご紹介いたします。どうぞご高覧くださいませ。

We are pleased to present an exhibition of hand-blown glass works by Hideki Yokoyama, created in Iizuka, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Yokoyama studied under Shinzo Kotani, the founder of Kurashiki Glass, and has continued to deepen his practice by trusting his own sensibilities and responding directly to the material. Rather than relying on thermometers, he works by carefully gauging the day’s temperature, the condition of the furnace, and the softness of the molten glass itself. As a result, each piece retains a rich and subtle irregularity that cannot be replicated through uniform production.
Soft contours, tiny air bubbles suspended within the glass, and slight variations in thickness all contribute to its character. As the glass catches the light, its appearance shifts and changes, taking on different expressions depending on the time of day and the place in which it is displayed.
These are not objects shaped to exact measurements; rather, they possess a natural ease, as though the glass has settled into its form of its own accord. With daily use, their quiet beauty reveals itself more deeply over time.
This exhibition will feature a selection of drinking glasses, bowls, and plates, as well as flower vases and other works.
We warmly invite you to visit and enjoy the exhibition.
