In the face of the massive destruction in Japan, it almost seems that any human effort will not be enough. But if you believe that small efforts made by many individuals matter, please visit Handmade for Japan to see a unique effort that's underway: an online auction to raise money for Japan’s relief efforts through eBay. The sale goes from March 18 – 20. All proceeds will be donated.
Ayumi Horie, a Japanese-American ceramicist, developed the idea. As you’ll see from the preview photos at the site, unique and beautiful ceramic pieces are being donated—they’d welcome more! The eBay listing will be under “Handmade for Japan.” If you’d like to donate some of your work, please leave a message on the facebook page or send e-mail to handmadeforjapan@gmail.com.
And of course if you want to bid on a piece, do!
