"Ceramics are not born from the hands, but from the spirit."
We are honored to welcome Shozo Michikawa back to our studio. Known for his unique technique of throwing and deformation, Michikawa creates pieces that seem formed by geological forces.
Over three intensive days, Shozo will share his working philosophy, demonstrating how to dialogue with the clay rather than dominate it. This course is not just technical; it is an invitation to rethink your relationship with the material.
