Detail

Participants are invited to choose ONE of three ceramic hand-building methods, and an instructor will provide guidance and assistance throughout the session.

Option 1｜Tableware – Hollowing Technique

Shape the solid clay by hollowing it out from the inside and thinning it evenly to create functional tableware.

• Thin the clay to a thickness of about 0.5 cm
• Form a cup, bowl, plate, or other tableware item of choice
• Add surface decorations or imprints

The focus of this method: balance, thickness control, and usability.

Option 2｜Openwork Vessels – Coil-Building Technique

Build a ceramic form using stacked layers of clay coils.

• Press a clay slab to form the base
• Stack coils of clay one atop another to build height and structure
• Adjust coil thickness and spacing to create different forms

The focus of this method: structure, rhythm, and creative freedom.

Option 3｜Decorative Forms – Geometric Design Application

Create decorative ceramic pieces using geometric concepts.

• Divide clay into equal portions
• Complete the main form first
• Add geometric, floral, or abstract decorative elements

The focus of this method: creative expression and sculptural design.
