Kurinuki Crackpots Workshop
During this workshop, you’ll create two unique objects—such as a bonsai pot, a tea bowl (chawan), an organic-shaped dish, or a small sculptural pot. You’ll work with two techniques that result in distinctive, original shapes.
Kurinuki
You start with a solid block of clay and cut, carve, and hollow it out from the inside. Step by step, your shape takes form. This Japanese technique is traditionally used for tea bowls, but it’s also well-suited for items such as bonsai pots or small bowls.
Spontaneous Forms
Next, you’ll work with (semi-)dry clay, stretching and opening it out. The resulting surface resembles cracked earth: rough, layered, and full of tension. This technique works well for shallow bowls or pots, such as a characterful bonsai pot.
You'll work intuitively, but with some guidance. By the end of the workshop, you'll have two pieces that you can use at home or display.
We dry, fire, and glaze your work.
After about 5 weeks, you can pick up your work.
