Summer Exhibition for Parents and Children Series: ‘What is Raku?’ - Tezukune Hand Moulding and Wheel Throwing
Raku Museum
This event has ended.
Raku tea bowls are hand-built without a use of the wheel and the basic bowl shapes are then carefully trimmed with the spatula to reach their perfection. Their well-balanced shape endowed with a soft contour is born out of the Raku unique hand moulding method, called Tezukune, using the palm of both hands.
In contrast, wheel throwing is as if to catch the shape the moment it is formed by the spinning of the wheel.
The exhibition is to compare two totally different types of pottery formation, Tezukune hand moulding and wheel throwing, highlighting the distinguished characteristics made by these two contrasting methods
