▼Features of our studio▼ Our studio is a shared pottery studio run for artists in the natural surroundings of Izukogen. Your partner in the pottery experience program will be a craftsman-cum-instructor who also serves as an assistant to our artists. Each has their own career and is a budding artist who spends their days honing their skills. ▼Experience style▼ The first piece can be completed without hesitation by following three steps, which the instructor and all other participants complete simultaneously in about 10 minutes. From the second piece onwards, the instructor will only offer advice and will intervene as little as possible. There is no limit to the amount of clay you can use, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about making mistakes. ★Discounts available for groups of 4 or more★ ▽For those who want to have a quick blast and bake just one piece.▼Times approximately 50 minutes, can make 3-5 pieces.▼If you choose not to bake, there are no firing or shipping fees.▼Firing fee: 66 yen per cm (e.g., teacup: 880 yen, rice bowl: 1,100 yen).▼16 Finishes▼Artist-Specific Finish▼In addition to the 16 basic glazes, you can choose the same finish as our affiliated artists. Check each artist's Instagram for the finished look. [Affiliated Artists] Search terms: Wabittsu-Sabinya [Hokekyoan], Mabo-Rie [naturallystudio] ▼Delivery: Approximately 90-150 days. Please note that due to popular demand, delivery may take longer. ★Note★ This is not a program to create the perfect piece you desire. The squishy clay feels great. Pottery is difficult, but it's fun. The focus is on experiencing pottery. ▼ Clearly displayed shipping costs for finished products (materials + handling fee + Yamato Takkyubin shipping). Separate local settlement: Kanto to Kansai (1,650 yen per location/up to 2 people) (calculated at 660 yen per person for 3 or more people). *Delivered via Yamato Takkyubin, which minimizes damage during shipping and offers flexible handling in the event of absence or relocation. ★Reviews posted by participants outside the recommended age range, such as "I can't make it because I don't understand the instructions," will be subject to a "removal request." ★Other: Children and elderly people with weak grip strength may have difficulty making the crafts. ・Delivery takes approximately 90-150 days (varies depending on the season). ・This is pottery, not porcelain, so it will become moldy if not properly cared for. ・We will include instructions on care, so we hope you will continue to support us.
The first one can be completed without any hesitation by following three steps and completing it simultaneously in about 10 minutes with the teacher and all participants.
Once you've practiced with the first one, it's time for the real thing. From the second one onwards, the teacher will only give advice and not intervene as much as possible. Even if you fail with one or two, you can still use as much clay as you want, so you can enjoy the experience without fear of failure.
Do you want to bake it normally? To the artist's specifications? To the traditional kiln specifications? Choose from "16 types of ready-made regular glazes," "309 types of artist's specifications," and "8 types of wabi-sabi & kiln-change pottery."
▼The 10 types of regular glazes are recommended for families and couples who want to enjoy pottery in a lighter way. ▼The "8 types of wabi-sabi & kiln-change pottery," which are now only available in high-end restaurants and luxury hotels, are for people who like tea and alcohol and can tell the difference between "ceramics and pottery." ▼You can choose the same finish as the affiliated artists as an option. Check out the finished look on each artist's Instagram. [Affiliated Artists] Search words: TK-Chan [Hokekyoan], Mabo-Rie [naturallystudio]
