Please note
In this class, students can only work on a small chipped ceramic piece over the 4 sessions. This is because there is no gluing process included, and the technique is a bit more complex than many expect. We encourage you to start with an easy piece to ensure you can properly learn the entire process. Additionally, we offer private sessions to support your projects after completing this course.
Since we will not be interacting with you in person, we cannot take responsibility for any urushi rash that may develop (please check the informaiton here) or the quality of the completed repair. The final result will depend on your artistic skill and patience.
Classes will be held via Zoom or Google meet, so please ensure you have access to them with a stable internet connection.
