KURINUKI and the world of Wabi Sabi

Discover the meditative beauty of Kurinuki, a traditional Japanese hand-carving technique. In this class, you'll start with a conversation and slowing down. Designing your piece under wabi-sabi philosophy and start with solid blocks of clay. Gradually and intentionally carving out two expressive and fully functional cups, no molds, no wheels, just your hands, tools, and intuition.

This is a wonderful practice for slowing down, embracing imperfection, and creating something truly one-of-a-kind
