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.

  • When it comes to pottery, the electric potter's wheel is an iconic tool. As this is an experience, we want you to first experience the satisfaction of making pottery and the joy of pottery, so we aim to have our customers make pottery with their own hands as much as possible. We will teach you from the very beginning even if you are new to pottery, so please feel free to come and visit us while you are sightseeing.
  • Direct instruction from the TV champion winner
  • The studio's representative, Mori Hiroki, has won the TV Championship and is also a certified traditional craftsman. If you are enthusiastic, please request Mori Hiroki when making a reservation and he will provide you with direct instruction. Beginners as well as experienced people are welcome.
  • Glaze can be specified
  • The glaze will be applied by our pottery at a later date, but if you wish, you can choose one or two of five types: Otani glaze: the brown glaze unique to Otani ware Aohagi: a glossy greenish light blue Nyuhaku: a glossy white Shirokaratsu: a rough white Bluekaratsu: a rough dark blue You can also add ash separately from the glaze to create a covered finish.
  • Baking options also available
  • For an additional fee, we can also fire glazed pieces in a gas kiln (reduction firing), an anagama kiln, or in other firing methods such as wrapping the piece in straw and firing it in a kobachi (also called a saya) with charcoal, or carbonization firing. These methods can create unique pieces, so please consider them if you want to create a special piece. Firing in a gas kiln or an anagama kiln will take longer than usual.

Purchase Notice

Please note the following when participating in this course:

  • ・We take the utmost care during firing, but it is possible that the piece may break after firing. ・If multiple people come to the electric potter's wheel experience course, it will take approximately 30 minutes x number of people. (Please note that our kiln policy is to provide individual instruction for each person.) ・If additional clay is added, an additional 1,000 yen/1kg will be charged. (If you wish to fire additional pieces, an additional fee will be charged (for sake cups from 1,000 yen, teacups from 2,000 yen, etc.))

Other important points to note:

  • You will be given 1kg of clay, but you can generally only fire one piece for the price of 1kg. (Up to two sake cups and up to five chopstick rests are possible.) If you would like to fire more than that, an additional fee of 1,000 yen will be charged per piece (per kg), even if it is within 1kg. We limit the number of pieces because the amount of work required for carving and glazing varies. Thank you for your understanding. (Usually, there will be a lot of clay left over even with 1kg.)
