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.
This class uses authentic urushi, which may cause a rash or skin irritation. For more details, please check the information here.
