Translucent porcelain bowl workshop

This workshop is an introduction to making wafer-thin bowls with flax reinforced porcelain on an inflated balloon, as well as discovering how to make a shrinking support on which the wafer-thin bowl can be hung. After starting the day by getting to know the material and learning how to make very thin pieces, Guy Van Leemput will demonstrate the techniques for applying patterns with the opportunity to practice yourself. Each participant will start a bowl with one or more of the demonstrated techniques while also making the swinging supports that will carry the piece in the kiln. You will then get to leave with your own bowl made during the day.
