Concept

Hand-building and coil-building are essential pottery-making techniques that offer infinite possibilities for creating unique forms. Takuro and Hitomi’s experience at Shigaraki provided them with valuable knowledge of various forming methods. In this workshop, Takuro and Hitomi demonstrate how to effectively make and handle coils, as well as how to connect the coils at the right timing. The workshop also discusses the importance of the drying process and how to carve and shape the clay to create unique vessel forms. The workshop’s goal is to inspire participants to explore the endless possibilities of hand-building techniques and incorporate them into their own practice.
