113-Tableware with Keiko
In Person | FULL
For intermediate to advanced students
In this class we will focus on tableware sets ranging from drinking vessels to bowls and plates. This is a great opportunity to take your throwing/making to another level-learn to make sets and multiples that match. Small batch production techniques, throwing off the hump, using throwing gauges, Japanese tombo and the Japanese method of making slabs will be taught. Learn to make beautiful slabs without a slab roller!
The Center has a wheelchair accessible pottery wheel in our ceramics studio. If you would like more information, please call 908-234-2345.
Keiko Inouye
Keiko studied pottery at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT and went on to be the First Apprentice to Kaitaro Kojima in Soja, Japan. Kaitaro Kojima is well known as the First Apprentice to the son of Japanese National Living Treasure, Kei Fujiwara.
After her 4 year apprenticeship she became “inchininmae” and was given her own symbol as a mark of pottery mastery. The signature is derived from her last name and the Japanese kanji for water well. She has had two exhibitions in both Japan and the US.
Keiko Inouye currently works and resides in New Jersey where her pottery has been adopted by some of the finest restaurants such as Common Lot, Summit House, Fiorino Ristorante & Bar, Juniper Hill, Ram & Rooster, Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen, Sona and Viaggio.
