Exploring the Moon Jar

with Sophie Kang Min Yoon

$670

Some throwing experience necessary

Upon arriving at our beautiful studio, roll up your sleeves and get ready to dive into the worlds of the Moon jar and Tsubo jar, both important vanguards of ceramic history. This workshop will be a great opportunity to expand your wheel-throwing skills, achieving spherical forms through technique and shaping strategies. We’ll start with small volumes and find our way to larger sectional throwing/building. Rims, bases, and trimming will be important aspects of our exploration. To top off the week there will be a salt firing that offers students the experience of utilizing glazes that accentuate these voluptuous forms.
