What will be covered in the class?
Each student will learn how to throw a traditional Japanese style half cylinder tea bowl and a hand-built tea bowl. This ancient form of making will give students a chance to absorb themselves in the process and create their very own tea bowls. Students will return to refine their ceramic ware using the potter’s wheel and turning techniques to create detail on your hand-built items. You will then be able to select which of our ceramic studio glazes you would like applied to your wears, which will be carried out by our on-site ceramic technician.
What’s included?
All materials are included.
Location
Ceramics Studio (Ground floor with raised tables, narrow doorways)
