Country: Japan

Duration: 02:00 hours


Description

Apply the same techniques traditionally used by potters in Japan with this ceramic class in Osaka. Be instructed on how to make your own ceramic piece that ties into Japanese gastronomy.
Work with clay from Shigaraki area and typical Japanese glazes to craft a unique ceramic piece with this workshop in Osaka. Enjoy private, step-by-step instructions from an instructor who has studied in Osaka and Barcelona. Take home your finished product and a small gift. 
Meet your guide at Teradachō Station and head to a century-old, two-story house next to a street lined with shops selling local food. The visit to the workshop is an immersion into the Japan of the Showa era and a direct contact with the craftsmanship of the country. 
Walk from the station out of the touristy area to the studio and the authentic side to Osaka that you won't find in the guidebooks. In the workshop, make a ceramic piece related to Japanese gastronomy with clay. 
Choose to make a sake set (small bottle and glass), a sushi set (sushi plate and chopstick holder), or a chawan for tea. The clay comes from Shigaraki, one of Japan's traditional pottery production areas. The colors used to decorate the pieces are also typical of the country.
During the workshop, learn about Japanese culture from your local instructor. The workshops are given in Spanish, Catalan or English. Unlike the other experiences related to ceramics, this is the only one that is held in English, Spanish or Catalan.
Receive as a parting gift a small plate for sushi (decorated with traditional enamels) and a chopstick holder in the shape of a Sakura flower made by your instructor. If desired, the pieces made during the workshop can be sent to the participant's home (shipping costs are not included).
