Karatsu Masterclass
Karatsu is a ceramic tradition that flourished in Japan in the late 16th to early 17th century. Despite being enormously influential within Japan, it is relatively unknown outside of the country.

Kinsugi Masterclass
Kintsugi repair has been used in Japan for centuries, but little known to the rest of the world until recently, and is now enjoying a rennaisance of sorts. However, there are drawbacks to traditional kintsugi, namely the difficulty and expense of acquiring Urushi (the toxic lacquer from the lacquer tree), and the difficulties in handling and properly curing Urushi. This workshop will introduce participants to kintsugi techniques using an alternative material: epoxy resin, which is much easier to handle and cure properly, safe, and speeds the kintsugi process considerably.

Paola Masi
Masterclass
Paola Masi is an artist with a deep sense of what lies unseen beyond form. Her practice consists in vessels thrown on the potter’s wheel in transition to abstract sculptures. Both her environment when growing up (Genzano di Roma, Lake Nemi, Italy) and her interest in eastern philosophy laid the foundation for the construction of her poetic and recognisable universe of unique ceramic sculptures, that dwell on the border of reality and reflection, the tangible and the invisible.
Her work is shown and collected in Europe, Japan and New York.
She is based in Barcelona
