The Process of Creating a Container - Videos by Yoshiyuki Kawada

Through these videos, you can follow the mastery involved in carving one of Kawada-san's containers from a solid block of clay.  This requires a deep understanding of the clay body being used, years of training under the watchful eye of a master, and a mastery of the art of carving.

 

Hopefully this gives you an idea of just how much artistic talent and mastery of the tools and material go into each and every container.
