Experience Details
The experience starts with learning the history of Pottery (陶芸, togei) and how to use tools. After that, you actually use clay to shape it. It is a serious program where you finish it into your ideal shape with the expert’s support.
First is a demonstration and lecture by a highly experienced expert. Knowing the history of how pottery developed in Japanese culture will help you imagine your work better.
It is time to touch the clay. Enjoy the cool feeling of the clay. You will make your favorite shape using your hands or a potter’s wheel (a spinning table). The shape changes with just a little pressure from your fingers. This delicate nature is the fun of pottery.

Once the shape is done, you can add patterns or decorations to make it original. This program is also used for company design training. Please value your free ideas and express your own “beauty.”
The expert will bake your shaped work carefully and send it to you later (baking takes time). At the end, there is time to share thoughts about your work or ask the expert questions. You can deepen your learning.
