This is a creative experience unique to Menard Aoyama Resort, which has a full-fledged hole kiln "Nunobiki Kiln". Unlike the hand-kneading experience, the work you make is baked in the hole kiln "Nunobiki kiln". Using firewood, it is baked overnight for about 5 days without extinguishing the fire. The work you make is covered with ashes in the kiln, and the ashes melt at a high temperature of up to 1,300 degrees Celsius and settle in the work, resulting in a mysterious color. It features a unique color that cannot be expressed in an electric kiln or a gas kiln. * The content of the experience and the work you make are the same as in the hand-kneading class. ★ Authentic pottery experience! You will be asked to make one piece from a cup or plate with 1 kg of soil. ★ There are 12 types of glaze! You can choose your favorite color. ★ In the experience, you will use a hand-cranked potter's wheel. ★ Nov. mid-Dec. works that get sashimi in late, the second coming Year Jan. will be delivered. ★ The work you make will be sent by shipping fee in early Jan.
