FOCUS WORKSHOP SERIES - KOHIKI

Workshop dates will be announced once they are confirmed. Join our Mailing List.

I will spend two days demonstrating and explaining my stretched brushmark Kohiki style. We will also explore traditional Kohiki or Korean Punch'ong sagi, Hakeme brushed white slip, and Mishima, or stamped, white slip.

I will cover how to glaze all of these traditional Kohiki styles, as well as how to make and apply Kohiki slip. We will also delve into staining, glazing and firing Satake style Kohiki.

This workshop will be beneficial for all levels of experience (as well as individuals who have previously taken my three-day Zoom workshop or five-day live workshop), as I will demonstrate how to make many different types of forms -- sculptural pieces, pitchers, cups, bowls, and vases, including my "origami" vase. There will also be a demonstration of Satake style stretched Kohiki on the wheel.

Each session will run for three hours with a short intermission. Students are invited to submit questions on the Zoom Chat feature which will be answered during the session.

FOCUS WORKSHOP SERIES - KURINUKI

Workshop dates will be announced once they are confirmed. Join our Mailing List.

During this workshop I will spend two days demonstrating and explaining my Kurinuki style.  Kurinuki means “to dig out”— it is a great way to bring out the sculptural aspect of your ceramic works. I will be teaching a variety of methods to create dynamic shapes and surface textures in hand built pieces, and then showing how to carve out the insides after the pieces have been formed. I will also be demonstrating my original “Mille-Feuille” style of layering thin clay slices and then cutting with a wire to create naturalistic surfaces.

No previous ceramic experience is required to attend, however this workshop will be especially beneficial for individuals who have previously taken my three-day Zoom workshop or five-day live workshop, as I will demonstrate how to make many different types of forms — sculptural pieces, boxes, vases, sake bottles (Tokkuri) and tea bowls (Chawan).

Each session will run for three hours with a short intermission. Students are invited to submit questions on the Zoom Chat feature which will be answered during the session.

A few days after the workshop ends, I will share a link to enable students to view a recording of the entire workshop. The video will be available for one month.
