This pottery experience is led by a nationally certified Kiyomizu-yaki master artisan with over 20 years of professional experience. Guests learn from a true expert recognized among the top tier of traditional craftsmen in Japan.
Unlike many tourist workshops, participants begin with clay preparation (“tsuchikoroshi”), an essential step usually handled only by professionals. This allows for a deeper understanding of authentic pottery-making techniques.

Instruction is personalized to each participant’s level, making the experience accessible even for beginners. Guests will shape their own handmade pottery piece as a meaningful cultural takeaway from Kyoto.
