Communal Clay KURINUKI WORKSHOP

Join Communal Clay on Tuesday 16 April 6-8pm for a special Kurinuki workshop at SET Social! Kurinuki translates in Japanese ‘to hollow’ and is a traditional technique of making an object by carving from a block or pinched pot. Teacups, pots, and lidded vessels are often created using Kurinuki.

The session will last 2 hours, with a break of 30 minutes (ish) to allow your clay to firm up a little before you start carving. Hollowing out clay in this way is a slow and meditative process, you will end up with a unique object which can never be repeated exactly again!

You will be able to add colour and depth to your work with wild clay slips we have collected from around South London, plus the option to have the piece fired and glazed with wood ash glaze. At the end of the workshop if you wish to have your piece fired and glazed, we ask that you pay an additional £10 to cover firing costs, glaze materials & transport of your work back to SET. **

These workshops will be more focused on the tactility of playing, practicing and learning sculpture techniques. All clay at the end of the session will be recycled for future use, minimising wastage and keeping our workshops sustainable.

Tickets are £10/£15/£20 and are available via outsavvy here.
