Special pottery workshop " Create a Chawan "

Sunday, April 13

This workshop will give you the experience of making  Chawan "Kohiki Tea Bowl".
You can learn about the history of Chawan while creating your own.

"Kohiki Tea Bowl"
A type of Korea style Tea Bowl.
Also called "kohiki" or "kofuki" because the body of the bowl looks as if it has been coated with white powder.
The front of the bowl has an inverted triangle without glaze, forming a view of the "hima".

You can make the tea bowl by coil building on the day.
After that, our staff will trim the bottom after drying, glaze, and fire them and send you.
