This plan is recommended for beginners, allowing you to experience the feeling of being a potter using an electric potter's wheel. Even if you're not the most skilled, don't worry! Gently touch the spinning clay, feeling the clay's changing shape and the smooth texture in your palm. You'll quickly experience the joy of using an electric potter's wheel! [Limited-Time Only! Anagama Firing Event Now On!] Uzumako Pottery Studio is currently hosting a limited-time event where you can experience wood-fired pottery in a Shigaraki anagama kiln! Works fired in the anagama kiln are colored by a natural glaze created by the ash that falls on the pieces as the wood fuel burns. This is a special experience, as each piece is uniquely crafted! *Customers who wish to participate in the anagama firing event must register by November 9th. *Please note that anagama works will take longer to complete than usual. They are scheduled to be delivered in January or February of next year. *In addition to the regular experience fee, participation in the anagama event requires an anagama participation fee and a special firing fee. Please contact the studio for details. ・Pottery classes are available in English on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.・If you wish to experience the program in English, please be sure to request this at the time of application.・Updated Shipping Notice – US, Canada & BrazilDue to new tariffs in the US, postal strikes in Canada, and strict customs in Brazil, sending your class-made pieces to these countries has become challenging. If you're located in the US, Canada, or Brazil, please contact us before booking—we'll be happy to discuss alternative ways to receive your work. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.※English classes are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. ※If you would like to experience the English class, please be sure to request this when registering. ※Regarding EMS shipping: We accept international shipping via EMS, but delivery to the US, Canada, and Brazil is currently difficult. Customers living in the US, Canada, or Brazil should contact us in advance.
You can come back in about 2-3 weeks and add coloring as an option. You can add various glazes and paint to create an even more original piece. It's fun to wait for the finished product to see how it will turn out, and to think about the design to paint it on.
We also offer a 10% discount on the class fee for families. For those who want to learn not only shaping but also scraping and painting, we also offer two- and three-session courses. You can use glazes to create beautiful colors, or use your favorite colors of paint to create patterns and designs. Why not enjoy this experience with your children? (For a family discount, please apply for a separate family experience plan.)
Beginners can rest assured that it can be done in the same way as playing with clay. We will guide you carefully.
