Plan description

An electric potter's wheel experience where you concentrate on shaping the spinning clay. Even a slight distortion can cause the shape to collapse, so it's not something you can do quickly or easily. We will provide you with the maximum support, so even beginners can feel free to try pottery. The sense of accomplishment you feel when you finish is wonderful. [Experience flow] ① When the reservation time comes, enter the store and leave your luggage. ② When you sit down, fill in the address of the destination to which the finished product will be sent. ③ Before the experience, please tell the staff "the shape and size of the vessel you want to make". ④ The experience starts. Slowly and carefully stretch the clay vertically. ⑤ Once the clay is firmly stretched thinly, you can freely create any shape you like. (The experience time is approximately 20 minutes) ⑥ Please feel free to ask us to take photos with your smartphone during the experience. ⑦ Your work will be carefully fired by the craftsmen of Zuikogama and delivered to you in one and a half to two months.

Safe support even for beginners!

More than 90% of people who visit Zuikou Kiln are customers who are new to pottery. Don't worry if you're not confident or clumsy. We will support you in making important works with careful support. Feel free to ask any questions.

The most orthodox ceramic art technique!

This work, which is formed on a spinning wheel, is a basic pottery technique. It's a lot of fun to create because the shape changes with a little force. It doesn't matter if it loses its shape or if you don't rush. You can start over as many times as you like, so create a work that you are comfortable with.

Good access to sightseeing spots in Kyoto!

Kiyomizu Temple, Kodaiji Temple, Yasaka Shrine, and Kenninji Temple can be reached within a 10-minute walk. If you enjoy the atmosphere of Kyoto and then do pottery, there is no doubt that it will have a positive effect on your work.
