The Beauty of Imperfection Part One: History, Handbuilding, and Pre-Glaze Decoration

Wednesdays, September 3-24, 6:00PM-9:00PM with Stephen Homer

In this class we will explore the forms and aesthetics of Japanese chawan (tea bowls) and other handbuilt vessels while learning to embrace the beauty of imperfection, the organic, and the asymmetrical in functional forms.

This is part one of a two part series, each part can be taken separately, though it is highly recommended to take both in order to learn all the techniques. Part Two covers working on the wheel and advanced glazing and alternative firings..
