Hanakuma Pottery: coming soon

Sometimes it’s a challenge to find just the right container for the arrangement that you have in mind and unless you have access to potters, stores and artisans from Japan or who produce “japanese style” containers it’s easy to get a bit disheartened. Having experienced this I decided to polish up my own pottery skills and start making containers for use in ikebana. I have now got this to a quality of design and execution that I am happy to make some available for sale so watch this space!

The above images are examples of containers that have been made previously.

Each container made is completely hand built and while the overall form may be similar to another they are each individual and 100% unique. As such we can only show containers for sale as they are finished. When new containers become available for sale we will be posting each of them individually and once it has sold that is it! So if you see something you want get in quick.

If you’d like to be notified when new containers are available, visit our contact page and select the option to be added to the mailing list for pottery updates.

Private Tutoring!

We are excited to announce that we now offer private tutoring in your own choice of location including your home or in our studio. In this very special 2 hour class we will teach in YOUR preferred location and give you a lesson tailored to your specific needs and learning style.

We bring all the required equipment including the container/vase, hassami, kenzan and anything else its reasonably expected that you might need for the lesson. These lessons are one to one with the teacher and focus in on developing the exact skill or arrangement style you want to work on. With hands on demonstration of techniques and skills as well as personalised correction of your arrangement and feedback to assist you in your learning you’ll find this an invaluable experience.

This is an exclusive opportunity not offered elsewhere in the Canberra region. We can organise a tutoring session as a once off treat or as an ongoing pathway of study at a time and place that suits you.

• Private tutoring sessions are $75 per 2 hour lesson and can be arranged for anytime except Wednesdays.

• If you’d like us to also provide the flowers, branches or other extra consumable materials for you to arrange there is an additional $25 fee.

Get in touch via the contact page to book your private tutoring experience.
Note: Provided containers, hassami and kenzans (non-consumable materials) may not be kept by students and will be collected at the conclusion of the class.
