About

During this one-day workshop, students will be introduced to the aesthetics of Iga Ware pottery and discover how this traditional Japanese ceramic style, which dates back to the Keichō era in Japan’s Iga Province (current day Iga, Mie Prefecture), developed into a unique and highly recognizable form of ceramics. Over time, Iga Ware became a significant symbol of Japanese noble circles, as well as the Japanese tea ceremony. This workshop focuses on creating three pieces inspired by Iga Ware pottery, using between 2 and 3 kg of clay per form.
