Join us for an immersive three-day masterclass focused on the functionality of crafting exquisite teapots and yunomi cups.

What You Will Learn
Functional Design
Delve into the principles of teapot design. Our goal is to understand how shape, size, and proportion impact both aesthetics and functionality. Learn to strike the perfect balance between visual appeal and ergonomic usability and explore how form follows function.
Learn how to optimise your teapot and yunomi cups for a seamless tea-drinking experience.
Handle and Spout Proficiency
Master the delicate art of attaching spouts and handles to your teapots with precision and finesse. Understand the nuances of proper alignment and placement to ensure optimal pouring performance and comfort.
Lids
Explore the art of crafting lids that not only fit snugly but also add character to your teapots. From knob design to lid-gallery integration, learn to elevate your vessels with the finishing touch of lid construction.
Yunomi Cup Creation
Redefine the concept of the traditional Japanese yunomi cup by infusing your designs with narrative and meaning. Experiment with asymmetrical shapes, textured surfaces, and unexpected details to infuse your cups with personality and character.
Glazing and Surface Decoration
Experiment with a wide range of decorative slips and underglazes techniques to enhance the beauty of your teapots and yunomi cups. From dipping and pouring to brushwork and layering, unleash your creativity to create unique surface effects and textures.
*Please note that this is a masterclass designed on making. We would not have a glazing session. Therefore, at the end of the masterclass we are going to glaze all artworks for you with a transparent glossy glaze.
Requirements
All skill levels are welcome, from curious beginners to seasoned potters. Materials and tools will be provided, but feel free to bring any personal tools or inspirations you wish to incorporate into your work.
Maximum 8 people per class.
Advance booking is recommended.
