What to expect
At a pottery studio set within a historic Japanese residence, you will learn traditional hand-building techniques while creating your own pottery pieces in a calm and intimate setting.
Begin by crafting a small yunomi cup to learn the basics, then create a matcha tea bowl (chawan) using approximately 1 kg of clay. In the afternoon, you will complete the finishing process by shaping, smoothing, and adding your own patterns or signature.
Your finished works will be professionally fired and shipped to your home after completion.
