Rizu Takahashi… Workshop and Exhibition ‘Potters Tea Party’

Following the success of Kigbeare’s first Masterclass Workshop last year, we are privileged to announce the return of my good friend, the charismatic and exceptional Japanese potter Rizu Takahashi.

Having had kilns in both Bizen and Mino areas of Japan, he has developed his own unique style which has given him an international reputation. Since moving to the South of France in 2004, Rizu has become renowned throughout Europe, not only for his distinctive style of work and exhibitions, but also for his workshops and tea ceremony demonstrations.

Rizu will be sharing his extensive range of techniques both thrown and hand built with his own expressive and spontaneous style.

Alongside Rizu’s Masterclass Workshop we will be opening the Kigbeare Gallery for the ‘Potters Tea Party’ Exhibition which will feature the Yunomis and Tea Pots of 11 international potters.

 ·  Workshop – Thur 21st, Fri 22nd  (Sat 23rd free workshop time) Sun 24th July. Price £300

Rizu’s generosity of character reaches out to all he meets, leaving them inspired and with a fond and lasting memory; once met never forgotten.
