Wada graduated from Doshisha University in Japan in 1995. Since 1998, she has lived in Denmark, where, in 2006, she graduated from Designskolen Kolding. Wada’s work explores the expressive potential of ceramics. She works mainly in stoneware, and uses a variety of modelling techniques to focus on designs that have both a visual and a tactile appeal. Her jar series Software illustrates how the hard stoneware can be worked to take on a soft, organic visual appearance. Wada’s works have been exhibited in many venues throughout Denmark, and in 2007 she was invited to exhibit at the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy. She has also received several grants, most recently Danmarks Nationalbank’s Anniversary Grant in 2006.
