Why not make a wonderful cup as a memory of your Kyoto trip? This plan is characterized by its short experience time of about 20 minutes (15 minutes for the experience + 5 minutes for writing your address and choosing the color). You can feel free to try it out to make memories between sightseeing. [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 where the finished product will be sent. ③ Before the experience, please tell the staff "the shape of the cup you want to make". ④ The experience starts. Slowly and carefully stretch the clay vertically. ⑤ Once the clay is firmly stretched thinly, make your desired shape. (Experience time is approximately 15 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 in one and a half to two months.
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.
You can choose from 3 types of glaze (white, lemon, and candy) to color your work. We will support you so that you can create a wonderful work in a short time.
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.
