Kurinuki Bowl Workshop at Leach

Discover: The Leach Story. Through a throwing demonstration, talk and handling collection, participants discover the story of how the Leach Pottery revitalised the tradition of handmade pottery and the ethos and approach of the potters at the pottery across the years.

Make: Consider the forms of drinking vessels, from foot to lip and make a Kurinuki tea bowl. Kurinuki is a traditional Japanese hand-building technique where a vessel is created by carving away from a solid block of clay. Through cutting the shape into the clay raw and sculptural marks of the carving process are visible.

Ceramics will be fired and posted back to the group within eight weeks of their visit.

Suitable for: KS3+. Group size: <16 or <32.

£200 - £300/group + costs for bisque, glaze firing & postage
