▼Features of our studio▼Our studio is a shared pottery studio run for artists in the nature of Izu Kogen. Your partner in the pottery experience program will be a craftsman and instructor who also serves as an assistant to the affiliated artists. Each of them has a career and is a budding artist who spends their days honing their skills. ▼Experience style▼You can complete the first one without hesitation by following three steps and clearing it simultaneously with the instructor and all other experience participants in about 10 minutes. From the second piece onwards, the instructor will only give advice and will not interfere as much as possible. There is no limit to the amount of clay, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind even if you fail. ★Discounts available for applications of 4 or more people★▼Artist-specific finish▼In addition to the basic 16 types of glaze, you can choose the same finish as the affiliated artists as an option. Check the Instagram of each artist to see the atmosphere of the finish. [Affiliated artists] Search words: TK-Chan [Hokekyoan], Mabo-Rie [naturallystudio]▼Delivery: Approximately 120 days▼Please note that it will take some time to deliver due to the great popularity. ★Caution★This is not a program to make a great thing as you want it to be. Clay feels good with its squishy texture. Pottery is difficult, but fun. The main focus is on experiencing pottery. ▼Clearly displayed shipping cost for finished product (materials + handling fee + Yamato Takkyubin shipping fee) Separate, local settlement Kanto to Kansai (1,650 yen per location/up to 2 people) (calculated as 660 yen per person for 3 people or more) *Delivered by Yamato Takkyubin, which is the least likely to be damaged during transportation and is flexible in the event of absence or relocation. ★If you participate outside the recommended age and post an irrelevant review such as "I don't understand the instructions and can't make it," you will be subject to a "request for deletion." ★Others ・Children and elderly people with weak grip strength may not be able to make it well. ・Delivery takes about 90 to 150 days (varies depending on the season) ・It is pottery, not porcelain, so it will get moldy if not properly cared for. ・We will attach an instruction manual on how to care for it, so please continue to support us.
After practicing with the first one, it's the actual performance. From the second one, the teacher will not interfere as much as possible and will only give advice. Even if one or two pieces fail, there is enough clay to enjoy freely, so you can enjoy it carefully♪
▼The 10 types of regular glazes are recommended for families and couples who want to enjoy pottery in a light way. ▼The "Wabi-Sabi & 8 types of kiln-changed pottery," which is now only available in high-class restaurants and hotels, is for people who like tea and alcohol and know the difference between "ceramics and pottery." ▼You can choose the same finish as the affiliated artists as an option. Check out the Instagram of each artist to see the atmosphere of the finished product. [Affiliated Artists] Search words: TK-Chan [Hokekyoan], Mabo-Rie [naturallystudio]

We are trying to bake with a high degree of difficulty with a firing success rate of 70%. It's not a convenience imitation, but a "real thing", so it requires 2 to 3 times more effort and technology than other workshops. It takes about 150 days for delivery. Ignore the cost when you are not satisfied with the baking! Even if it is re-fired two or three times, it may exceed 150 days.

kiln change Depending on where you place it in the kiln, the atmosphere changes, and no two pieces are the same. It's strange, just like humans.

Hokekyoan's technique is endorsed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as an innovative management innovation. The adoption rate for “Management Innovation” is 5%. There's a reason why the approval pass rate is so low. This is because the public support that can be used when management innovation is approved is done using taxes, so a high level of rigorous screening is performed.
