ClayAKAR's 15th annual Yunomi Invitational featuring 6 Yunomi by 200 artists
Definition of Yunomi (U-No-Me): A cup with a trimmed or turned foot, without a handle. Unlike the more formal Chawan tea bowl, which is used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the Yunomi is made for daily (or informal) tea drinking. While a Chawan's is not too tall and narrow for vigorous whisking of tea and held with two hands, a Yunomi is taller and not as wide and used mostly to drink tea made with tea leaves and held with one hand.
Honoured to be presenting with the Ceramic School’s Ceramic Congress this May! Join us for “3 days of amazing-jam-packed-mind-blowing workshops from ceramic artists around the world”!!!
I will be updating my online shop on April 17th at 11am MDT! Check in earlier that week to see the sale preview. The sale has sold quickly in the past, so it is a good idea to set up an account on the website ahead of time for speedier checkout.
Also, I have made the decision to sell my work in USD. With the majority of my pottery from recent sales headed to the states, and to align with my US gallery pricing, it just makes sense.
To my dear Canadian customers, I know this makes things a little pricier for you, so I will be covering the sales tax for your purchases. Thank you for your support!
Dear students,
It’s with great sadness that I write this, but I’m sure you already knew it was coming. Considering the current state of the world, I am cancelling my July and August workshops. (Boooooooo…..)

Big hugs and best wishes,
Sarah
