CERAMIC WORKSHOP - KURINUKI

'Kurinuki’ is the ancient art of carving objects from blocks of clay and today is one of the rarest practised ceramic techniques. It is incredibly therapeutic and offers a mindful making experience. Each piece is unique to the maker, by finding a perfectly imperfect balance that reflects your inner thoughts and records our individual movements.

This workshop offers a unique making experience that encourages kinder thinking and self expression in a calming, learning atmosphere. We will guide you through the making of a tea bowl, from start to finish, with expert tips and techniques from Royal College of Art graduates.

Classes can be booked for total beginners and those interested in upskilling their existing knowledge. All equipment and firing is provided.
