Kurinuki Dishes: Four ways to carve small bowls from clay

Hi, I’m Supatra Marsh, the maker behind BLANK EARTH. My pottery takes inspiration from Asian ceramics and traditional handmade processes. I specialise in ‘kurinuki’, the Japanese art of making slowly, carving pottery from a lump of clay to produce unique, one-of-a-kind pots.

[@jeanriggs5044]

Thank you. Would love to see them after they've been glazed and fired.

[@BlankEarthCeramics]

Hi Jean! Thank you - I dont have these ones any more as they have gone to a good home but I plan to make some more videos on glazing my kurinuki pieces so look out for those! Thank you for your interest in my videos :)

[@juliejoanlanne8322]

Very beautiful ! Thank you for sharing ! Which type of clay do you use for Kurinuki ?

[@BlankEarthCeramics]

Hey! You can use most clays - stoneware clay with a little grog in it works that best! Thank you xxx

[@linnealindroth8688]

It can be hard for me to judge how much clay to start with just by eyeballing your lump in the video. Could you estimate the amount in grams or lbs? Thank you!

[@BlankEarthCeramics]

Hi this was probably 1kg I think but that’s a good weight to start with anyways! Thank you x

[@joymatons7690]

Could you not jerk your camera around so much. Its almost impossible to watch uou vlogs and videos. I love your work byt so hard to watch.

[@BlankEarthCeramics]

So sorry!! I will definitely try not to do this in future - thank you for letting me know :)
