The ancient art of the Japanese tea ceremony was the inspiration for the class making tea ceremony cups. Everyone in the class made six traditional looking cups using either a speckled buff clay or a clay that turned black when fired, which mimicked the look of Raku fired clay (a special firing technique used in making traditional Japanese tea ceremony cups). Some of the cups made in the class will be for sale during the upcoming Holiday Fest.
The Pottery/Sculpture Club offers classes year-round. Watch for announcements on the egroup, or come to the Expressions Gallery in the Creative Arts Center to check on upcoming classes.
