For our culture activity today, we have made our own mugs, cups (what I chose) or bowls out of "Kiyomizu-yaki" (清水寺やき) clay. This clay traces back to the 5th Century which from that time evolved. We had many mentors on deck assisting all 40 of us mold and shape this rigid and cold clay. Truly this art is more difficult than it seems.
We made our pieces during the first week of the program due to the fact the finalization process of heat and glazing the clay takes about 4 weeks.
