Dust Temple

The word means 'carving out' and it involves shaping a solid block of clay, then carving out a vessel to create 'interior space'. It is a sculptural approach to making the interior of the piece just as important as the exterior. In the workshop you will have the opportunity to make Yunomi (handless tea cup) or two sake cups. Tuition, inspiration and simple tools provided. Your work will be twice fired and be available for collection 4-6 weeks after the workshop. The workshop will run for 1.5 hours (6:30pm – 8:00pm). Doors open at 6:00pm.About Jo NortonAn artist whose medium is clay. A studio potter working in a converted warehouse not far from the ocean.

My work is informed by the details and repetition found in the monumental and the minuscule, the shifts and changes marked by time; natural and manmade.
