Initiation à la poterie japonaise : Kuri-Nuki et Wabi-Sabi

THE JAPANESE ART OF FINDING BEAUTY IN IMPERFECT CERAMICS... Kuri Nuki is a traditional Japanese form of hand-building. The word means "to carve, to hollow out," and it involves shaping the exterior of a solid block of clay, then hollowing it out into a vessel to create "an interior space." WABI-SABI evokes rustic simplicity, natural elegance, the calm of nature, the unfolding of time, the beauty and serenity that comes with the age of the object, its wear, its patina. It also represents rust, authenticity, the proof that nothing lasts, impermanence. The bowls will dry in the studio. They will be fired in an electric kiln for the first firing, then glazed and fired again, also in an electric kiln, so they can be used as food containers. This workshop is open to groups of 2 or more participants over 6 years old. Registration required at 06 83 80 93 57 (€25 deposit required). Please arrange to collect the artwork at the end of your stay. Postal delivery is possible (€18 fee).
