Utsuwa: cup, bowl and bottle - Hand-building with Yoko Ozawa
- $590, 8 weeks
- Wednesdays 6.30-9.00pm
This class offers an opportunity to slow down and learn a way of making that gives deep consideration to the relationship between function, aesthetics, skill and the nature of ceramic materials and processes. Reference will be made to benchmark objects from contemporary Japanese ceramics – the cup, the bowl and the bottle. Students will work with clay, slip and ash glaze, taking time to refine skills, develop aesthetic understanding and find an approach to making that allows the emergence of the qualities sought. Not all work made will be kept, but students will choose a selection of pieces for firing at the end of the term.
We recommend having some basic knowledge of hand-forming before joining the Utsuwa class.
Fee includes materials; firing is $15.00/kg
