Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • In Okinawa, there is a traditional pottery technique called "Arayaki," which uses clay that is rich in iron due to the weathering of coral. Create a piece using this clay. The instructor will provide careful instruction, so people of all ages, from children to seniors, can participate with peace of mind.
  • Creating works on a hand-wheel
  • Each participant will use about 1 kilogram of clay to create around two pieces. Because they are made on a hand-wheel, the individuality of the maker will be more apparent. Please try to create a one-of-a-kind original piece.
  • For travel memories
  • These unique pieces are fired in the workshop and are completed in about 1-2 months. If you wish, we can send them to you (additional shipping charges apply). Shortly after you return home, your handmade pottery piece will arrive from Okinawa. It will bring back memories of your trip.
  • Blown by the sea breeze of Miyakojima
  • The Taiyo Gama Pottery Studio is a pottery experience studio located on a hill overlooking the sea of Miyakojima, Okinawa. This island boasts some of the most beautiful seas and beaches in Okinawa, so why not try making a one-of-a-kind piece while enjoying the refreshing sea breeze?

The workshop also has a cafe and a general store
