extremly important to her work. It is the decoration
aspect that she will be concentrating on during her

July. During the two day workshop, Takako will
demonstrate slip trailing, brushwork and marking on
earthenware. She will show slides and also
demonstrate how she makes her footed bowls, This
workshop will be hands-on on the Sunday, when
