SPRING ADULTS: Kyusu & Yunomi Workshop

INT/ADV     

Since the pursuit of the teapot could last a lifetime, this short course will focus on one style (“yokode kyusu”—mini side-handle teapot) with a set of matching cups (yunomi). The delicacy of handle balance, spout length, and lid fit will be explored as well as the fine crafting of an interior leaf strainer and a set of matching yunomi. Casual discussion will center of course, upon tea, ceremony, and the making of one’s own ritual with regards to this ancient beverage. This workshop will include demonstrations as well as hands on time for students to practice these techniques guided by Hillary. Students should be comfortable with fundamental wheel skills. This class is suitable for intermediate-advanced students.

Please note: Registration in a full semester Spring course or Independent Program required.
