Adult Session 6 • Level II Teaware for Tea Ceremony • (Oct. 24 - Dec. 19) • HILL
with Chad Corbin
$290
Join us in exploring pottery forms inspired by Eastern ceremonial tea traditions. You will learn techniques for making matching sets of teabowls and show you how to throw and construct your own teapot. We will discuss the features important to these forms and how they contribute to the tea drinking experience. Opportunities for attending tea ceremonies outside of class will be made available to help inform your teaware. This class will be somewhat challenging, but the techniques you learn will help you become a more consistent thrower, with new skills that translate to many other forms.
For making teabowls and teapots, we recommend you have one or two small wooden bowl throwing ribs/discs (C27-13 or similar) and a throwing stick (C27-19 Medium or similar). These can be purchased from Clay King and many other retailers.
