Pottery Class in Te Puke Ceramics

I am having a pottery class at Te Puke Ceramics.
In Tomorrow´s class I am going to introduce the Kurinuki Technique. Kurinuki is a Japanese form of hand building.
It involves using a block of clay and carving the exterior form and hollowing out the interior. This is a more sculptural way of working with clay but translates beautifully to functional ware.
One of my favorite plant pots I made years ago in this technique. In this time I didn´t even know that this kind of carving is called Kurinuki…
