Kurinuki means emptying the inside of the pot and is a traditional Japanese form of hand-building. This tradition involves shaping a solid block of clay and carving out a vessel. The technique implies a more sculptural approach to clay forming, thus creating an excellent interior and exterior of the item. The aim of Kurinuki ceramics is to craft pottery spontaneously so that it looks “alive.” For this purpose, the potter creates raw and sculptural vessels and avoids refined and smooth finishing. The vessels you will make will include boxes, sake cups, tea bowls, vases and more.
