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 make any shape you like. (The experience time is about 45 minutes. 2 to 4 pieces are the guideline) ⑥ Please feel free to ask us to take photos with your smartphone during the experience. ⑦ After the experience, choose two pieces to be fired (firing the third piece and beyond costs an additional 2,000 yen per piece). ⑧ Your work will be carefully fired by the craftsmen of Zuikogama and delivered to you in one and a half to two months.
