Abigail Schama will be holding an online workshop via zoom exploring more Kuriniki techniques.

 Kuri nuki, or “carving out.” Take a block of clay and any type of tool and slowly whittle into the clay to search for a form. There’s no throwing, pinching or coiling; just discovery by digging. The technique is simple and accessible to all, no special equipment needed.

Making an Object to hold

Physical touch beyond the confines of home is impossible right now. The contact I’m so used to with so many people I love suddenly carries a risk of harm. Getting to know someone new in the flesh is out of the question.

Clay offers another kind of contact, a touch that brings to life. We can coax it into becoming what it is.

This is earth that offers sensual tension and play, and time and be in a relationship with another body, to look and feel and push it (and ourselves) to the limit. Intimacy here promises possibility and expression in space. Once a shape appears, scratching and drawing can bring out character. 

Be loving and take pleasure. Abigail Schama
