In this class, you are free to learn at your own speed while working with traditional glazes made by Master Soukei Aoyama.
The first step is to use the potter's wheel to shape the clay. The process begins with throwing the piece onto the wheel and continues with carving and decoration, applying glaze, and firing.
The oxidised firing process prevents it from being used in conjunction with other programmes, but its extensive scope with regard to creative possibilities makes it enjoyable for both novices and specialists.
Recommended for:
Beginners, intermediates and advanced users
Firing
The kilns are available in two options: a gas kiln with dimensions of 70 cm by 40 cm by 60 cm, or an electric kiln with dimensions of 70 cm by 40 cm by 50 cm.
During the 15-day course, participants have the option to use either a gas kiln or an electric kiln of equal dimensions.
There are restrictions on the maximum size and quantity of pieces that can be fired.
The courses are specifically structured to incorporate the firing process within the duration of your stay. However, in the event that you are unable to attend the fire session, the pottery will be dispatched to you subsequent to the completion of the firing process.
