Description
Create Your Sake Ware – Handmade Porcelain Ware
Hand-building | Beginner (2.5 Hours)
Drink sake in the traditional Japanese rice wine served in exquisite handmade porcelain ware made by your hands.
Create your sake ware using hand-building techniques like pinching, slab-building and coiling. The handmade porcelain ware enhances the sake drinking experience and adds an artistic touch to your table setting.
The hand-building techniques involve shaping the clay by hand rather than using a pottery wheel. These techniques require patience, precision, and attention to detail, but the result is a unique and personalised sake ware you can be proud of.
The handmade porcelain ware embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that values simplicity, celebrating the imperfections, the irregularities of the clay and the beauty of natural materials.
Creating your own sake ware using hand-building techniques can be a fulfilling and meditative experience. Get ready to embark on this creative journey to make unique and beautiful sake ware.
Chill in the comfort of a homey setting to create your masterpiece, where local ceramicist Agnes Lim will share the art of pottery. Be prepared to get your hands dirty through hand-building –– pinching, coiling, slab work –– one of the oldest methods involving handmade ceramics without a pottery wheel.
