Since the beginning of this year, Blog has focused on "Activities in Tokyo" and introduced plans that allow you to experience different things during the day and at night. However, if you live outside the Kanto area, it's difficult to go to Tokyo with Hula. For such people, let's focus on the Kansai area as well.

The Kansai region has as many tourist attractions as Tokyo. In addition, there are many lands blessed with abundant nature in each season, and it is a region where you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of Japan. It has the largest freshwater lake in Japan, Lake Biwa, and has a history of more than a thousand years since ancient times. Many cultural properties have been handed down to the present day, and about 60% of national treasures exist in the Kansai region. Of these, 6 are cultural properties registered as World Cultural Heritage.

For the above reasons, the Kansai region is very popular both in Japan and overseas, and is visited by many tourists throughout the year. Therefore, it seems that there are plenty of activities. If you want to enjoy in such a historic land, you want to experience traditional crafts. So this time, you can participate in the Kansai region. Ceramic art I will explain about "Experience".

What can i make? What kind of ceramic art experience?

Tableware such as plates and cups that are used on a daily basis, as well as many earthenware and vases, are made of earthenware. I don't usually care much, but have you ever wondered "how do you make it?" By all means, such a person Ceramic art Why don't you go to the hands-on classroom and make a full-scale production?

Ceramic art Has been practiced in Japan for a long time and is a production process with a very long history. Since the characteristics and characteristics differ depending on the production area, workshops all over the country Ceramic art In the classroom, you can learn different ways to make each land. The detailed process differs depending on the type, but Ceramic art The main production process of is roughly divided into two. "Molding" is to knead clay to shape it, and "Painting" is to draw a pattern on a vessel or object.

The technique of "molding" can be divided into "electric potter's wheel" and "hand-bending". Ceramic art Speaking of which, many people think of "electric potter's wheel". You can use the rotational force of the potter's wheel to form smooth circles and curves. If you are a little used to it, you can create beautiful shapes. On the other hand, "hand-bending" is a technique for molding clay on a table or pedestal without using a potter's wheel. The biggest attraction is that it can be freely molded into any shape, unlike the "electric potter's wheel", which can only mold a rotary shape based on a cylinder. If you want to make your own original work that is unique to the world, "Hand-bending" is the best choice.

Finally, "painting experience" is the process of drawing pictures and patterns on unglazed vessels. Since you can freely draw pictures and letters on the vessel whose shape has already been completed, there are few mistakes. Recommended for families and beginners with small children. The time required is shorter than the time-consuming "molding", so you can enjoy casual participation while sightseeing.

in this way Ceramic art There are three types of experiences, as mentioned above. Please find an experience plan that matches your purpose and difficulty, and the time required. Below, you can enjoy in the three major cities of the Kansai region Ceramic art I carefully selected the experience plan!
