In this 2 day workshop, you will spend 5 hours learning the techniques used by Hanako for building small to medium spirit masks. Students will be given a base, “face,” shape and your instructor will teach you how to personalize it. After the face is built, you will be guided through Hanako's personal approach for underglaze and non-ceramic surface design.
You will practice the skills of sculpture on top of the foundational ceramics techniques like pinch pots to scoring and attaching clay. With a sculptural touch, you will practice the skills face construction and make something that leans away from functionality.
This all-levels class is recommended for students 15 years and older. The pottery wheel will not be used in this workshop. The materials will be provided on-site. All firing services are included in cost, and an instructor will glaze your pieces in a clear for you.
