"(...) The focus on one's artistic progression is vital in this experience."
The contents of the Ceramics and Wood-Firing Course are based on three pillars:
Firstly, wood-firing, an ancient technique, serves to study and learn about its wide range of aesthetic opportunities to achieve one's artistic vision.
Secondly, the demonstration of a wide range of construction techniques for sculpture, pottery, and contemporary ceramics opens new artistic paths for the works to be made by each one. All works will be wood-fired in the Sasukenei - smokeless kiln.
Thirdly the focus of the course will be on the individual artistic development of each participant. With the diversity of ceramic techniques sometimes left a little in the background, the focus on the artistic progression of each individual is vital.
In this comprehensive course, we will come together to fire the Sasukenei - Smokeless Kiln, designed and built by Masakazu Kusakabe in 2015.
