For full details of what this talk includes please see here. 

Make
Consider the forms of drinking vessels, from foot to lip and make a Kurinuki tea bowl. Kurinuki is a traditional Japanese hand-building technique where a vessel is created by carving away from a solid block of clay. Through cutting the shape into the clay raw and sculptural marks of the carving process are visible.

Ceramics will be fired and posted back to the group within eight weeks of their visit.
