Due to the characteristics of silver, the surface may turn black. Works made with "Art Clay Silver ST" are resistant to tarnishing, and can be easily maintained to retain the original beauty and brilliance of silver for a long time. The silver surface after firing is fine, and the silver product is finished with a purity of 99% or more. *ST stands for Slow Tarnish. This is because water adhering to the surface of silver combines with sulfur components in the air to form silver sulfide. This silver sulfide film is the cause of the discoloration to dark brown or black. The premium course is a special menu using Art Clay Silver ST. The crafting time will take longer than the normal experience. It takes 3 to 4 hours. (If there are many participants, depending on the design, the production time may be longer. No extension fee will be charged.) To be frank, it is difficult to make genuine silver accessories. But don't worry. Art Clay Club certified instructors will guide you firmly. You can wear it on the day and go home. As with the regular course, you can freely make rings, pierced earrings, necklaces, straps, and anything you like with your favorite design. There are more materials than the normal course, so maybe you can make a slightly larger set of earrings and pendants? Put a lot of colored stones. A great gift for someone special. We start by thinking about the design together. Design materials such as samples, photos, and texts are also available. If you bring a picture you designed yourself, we will think about how to make it together. Chains, stones, metal fittings, etc. will be charged separately, but you can use them freely according to your design. We offer chains in SV925 (sterling silver). 700 yen to 2000 yen Free strap parts! We have straps in a variety of colors. Tool rental fee is free. You can come empty-handed.

Ta. Takehara is said to have first been cultivated as a manor land for Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto during the Heian period under the Private Property Law of Konta Eiten. During the Muromachi period, Mori Motonari's third son Takakage (who was adopted by the Kobayakawa family and became Takakage Kobayakawa) spent his childhood there. Takakage was one of the people who received the ``Three Arrows' teachings'' from Motonari and supported the Mori clan system. Later, in the late Edo period, it developed through salt fields and sake brewing, and it is said that it boasted an 80% share of Hiroshima prefecture's salt production at the time. There are three sake breweries: Taketsuru Sake Brewery, Fujii Sake Brewery, and Nakao Jozo. Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whiskey, known as the ``father of Japanese whisky,'' is from Takehara. Taketsuru Sake Brewery, Masataka's birthplace, still operates in the townscape preservation district to this day. Around this time when salt and sake were developing, Rai Sanyo, a Confucian scholar and author of ``Japanese Foreign History,'' which had a great influence on the patriots at the end of the Edo period, was active. The former home of Sanyo's grandfather, Kiyoshi Yoriyoshi, is located in the townscape preservation district. (Excerpt from the Japan Historical Travel Association) At the annual Takehara Longing Road, the town is beautifully illuminated with candlelight and bamboo lanterns set in the townscape preservation district. The atmosphere of the old house leaking through the lattice door is also very atmospheric, giving you the illusion of having traveled back in time.
