Kurinuki Cups Clay Play
In this one-day workshop, students will explore the art of kurinuki by carving and shaping slab-built forms into bold, textured mugs. Starting with thick slabs, participants will cut, twist, press, and pull the clay to create dramatic surfaces that feel raw, organic, and full of movement. The focus will be on expressive texture, strong silhouette, and balancing sculptural energy with everyday function. Each mug will emerge as a tactile, one-of-a-kind piece—both rugged and comfortable in the hand. Students will leave class with their mugs ready for drying and firing; finished pieces will be available for pickup approximately 3–4 weeks later.
