Kurinuki – an old Japanese hand-building technique – involves cutting, carving and marking the exterior form from a solid block of clay and then hollowing it out. This more sculptural approach allows complete freedom in the shaping of vessels.
During this two-day workshop led by Elena Renker, participants will learn about kurinuki and use it to explore various forms: from tea bowls to sake cups, vases and boxes.
Participants should bring a basic pottery tool kit (sponge, cutting wire, wooden knife, wooden shark fin rib, steel rib, needle tool and trimming tools), and 2-3 items that may create interesting patterns on clay (e.g. bolts, screws, interesting rocks, a comb).
Bisque firing of finished pieces can be arranged for an additional cost. Details will be available at the workshop.
This workshop will run over two consecutive days (Monday October 3 and Tuesday October 4), and is suitable for all skill levels.
