Kurinuki Introduction - Creating from a Block of Clay
Kurinuki Introduction - Creating from a Block of Clay
Découvrez le kurinuki, une technique japonaise qui consiste à sculpter une pièce directement dans un bloc d'argile. À l'aide de différents outils, vous creuserez progressivement la matière pour révéler votre création, en laissant place aux textures, aux marques du geste et au caractère unique de chaque pièce.
Lors de cet atelier, vous réaliserez deux petits bols ou gobelets, en explorant cette approche à la fois intuitive et méditative. Aucune expérience en céramique n'est nécessaire : votre professeure vous accompagnera à chaque étape afin de vous familiariser avec les principes de cette technique.
Une fois votre pièce terminée, vous choisirez parmi 3 choix de glaçures pour votre pièce. Notre équipe se chargera ensuite du séchage, de l'émaillage et des deux cuissons. Votre création sera prête à être récupérée environ 6 semaines après l'atelier.
Venez découvrir une autre façon d'aborder la céramique, où chaque coup d'outil contribue à créer une pièce authentique, organique et entièrement unique.

Firing of the pieces
Firing of the pieces
You will receive an email approximately 6 weeks after your workshop, when your ceramic piece will be ready. As our emails often end up in the spams, add us to your contacts so you don't miss it!
It may happen that a piece breaks during firing, because ceramics is a complex art that involves several risks throughout the process. If your ceramic did not survive the process, unfortunately we do not offer replacement or re-course. The introductory course is focused on the experience of pottery, not on the result.
