In the workshop at Bonniers Konsthall, a master and an apprentice collaboratively create ceramic craft objects through traditional Japanese techniques. Gates describes the installation as a \u201cthing making workshop\u201d and Japanese master ceramist Koichi O\u2019Hara has been invited to start up the workshop. As part of the work, a specific Care Program has been developed in order to offer masters and apprentices various forms of care such as hand massage, readings or music performances. Parts of this program are offered to you as a visitor as well!<\/p>\n<p><em>I think that studying clay helped me understand that ugly things, muddy things, or things that are unformed are just waiting for the right set of hands. So, in a way, maybe clay became a metaphor that helped me understand the rest of the world, but maybe it was for me like a proverb.<\/em><br \/>\n\u2013 Theaster Gates<\/p>\n<p>Masters at Bonniers Konsthall are Calle Forsberg, Joanna G\u00fcnther, Rami Khoury and Masayoshi Oya. Apprentices are from the programme in Ceramic and Glass at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and design.<\/p>\n<h3>Care Program<\/h3>\n<p>Wed.
