2 Cobo Workshop
Since the mid-1990s—gee, that’s more than two decades ago—Cobo Ceramic Workshop in Causeway Bay has been offering pottery classes for students of all levels to get their throwing on. Founded by experienced ceramic artist Chris Lo, who has participated in numerous exhibitions in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Europe, it’s safe to say that the man knows his stuff and his teaching team of four is no less distinguished.
Cobo Ceramic Workshop offers classes from Monday to Saturday, where students can learn to prepare clay and use different hand-building techniques, such as pinching, coiling, and slab-building, crafting everything from functional tableware and vessels to sculptures. Intermediate students can move on to throwing techniques on the potter’s wheels to create items such as mugs, bowls, plates, vases, and teapots. A four-course package ($1,120) is available, and material and firing fees are charged by weight and volume after firing.
