What does home mean - as a place, as a memory, as an experience? What has a place in your home? Using clay, create a symbol of your home, whether as a physical place, as an expression of your feelings, or as a place of longing. Accompanied by Ayaka Terajima, artist of the exhibition return, you will get to know her technique and make your own clay sculpture.
More than 10,000 years ago, people in Japan (Jomon period) pressed cords, shells and leaves into wet clay and thus created clay vessels with artful signs and patterns. To this day we do not know for certain what these signs meant. Today, other vessels surround us: packaging, cardboard boxes, containers. They too bear signs - arrows, barcodes, pictograms - that govern how things are transported, stacked and passed on.
In the first part of the workshop, Ayaka Terajima presents her artistic work and shows how new signs emerge from these two sources - the very old and the very everyday.
