I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the two-month Japanese pottery course in Barcelona with Chisato Kuroki, and it was truly a life-changing experience. The course was intensive in the best way, allowing me to completely dive into the art of Japanese ceramics. Chisato was an amazing teacher—she shared so much knowledge and really cared about helping each of us improve and develop our own style. I learned a wide range of traditional Japanese pottery techniques, and there was always space to experiment and explore my own ideas, which made the experience even more rewarding. We were a small group of just four participants, which was fantastic because it meant we all received plenty of individual attention. The atmosphere in the studio was always positive and fun, and being in such a small group created a strong sense of connection and community. As part of the course, we also got to do raku firing at Chisato’s house. It was such a unique and memorable experience—being part of the process in that setting made it feel incredibly special and authentic. This course wasn’t just about learning pottery techniques; it transformed how I approach ceramics and creativity. For anyone passionate about Japanese pottery or looking for a fully immersive pottery experience, this is perfect. With two months of daily practice and learning, you gain so much knowledge and skill—it’s truly inspiring and unforgettable.

My name is Lydia Young, I came to Barcelona from California and participated at Chisato Kuroki’s 8 week intensive ceramic workshop for the last 3 months, May to July, 2023. It was a rare opportunity to travel aboard and study with a Japanese ceramicist who is inspirational in her experimental methodology and knowledgeable in her craft. Her course material was organized with flexibility to accommodate individual participants special interest. For a beginner like myself, the most rewarding knowledge I gained was a glimpse into the complex world of glazes. She also invited Dameon Lynn, a British ceramicist, as a visiting artist. His expertise on the wheel complimented Chisato’s hand building techniques and made a well balanced workshop. This is a once in a life time experience that I would recommend to ceramic enthusiasts, beginner or advanced, who is open minded and want to learn, explore and enrich their clay making experience in a city of old and new. Last but not least, Barcelona is the home of the renowned visionary architect, Antoni Gaudí, whose breath taking Sagrada Familia is a must see for all artists.
Thank you, Chisato
