Ikebana Pottery: The Japanese Art of Flower Arranging
***Workshop participants will meet February 4th and February 25th***
In this 2 day workshop, participants will learn how to create various forms out of clay specific for this style of flower arrangement. Jesus will demonstrate both hand building and wheel throwing techniques to build these Ikebana containers. Ikebana in the Japanese art of flower arrangement using simple design principles that celebrate space, movement, and form. Participants will make the container the first day of the workshop and on the second day, when the containers have been finished and fired, Jesus will demonstrate the art of Ikebana and participants will make their own arrangements using their finished containers.
Together in this action-packed workshop, we will discuss and build a nontraditional Raku kiln beginning from a hardware store barbecue grill. We will explore white crackle, luster and texture glaze surfaces. Kiln building, firing processes and post firing techniques will all be demonstrated and we will have a uniquely, creative dinner event to celebrate the end of our time together!
