REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Kurinuki is a Japanese technique for creating functional ceramics that combines sculpture with craftsmanship. It involves shaping a vessel from a solid block of clay by gradually hollowing it out and modeling it. This process yields objects with a raw, organic aesthetic that reveal the traces of the artisan’s hands. Each vessel created in this technique is unique; it straddles the line between craft and art, highlighting the material’s natural qualities and the artist’s personal expression.

After the workshop, the vessels will be glazed and fired at Nami Studio. The finished, functional vessels can be picked up at the studio at 49 Prądzyńskiego Street two weeks later.
