JOIN A POTTERY WORKSHOP @little07tokyo Reservation.
*English speakers welcome.
These days, we often spend our time immersed in the digital world of our smartphones. That’s why I believe in the importance of reconnecting with nature. The way soft clay transforms into a beautiful ceramic piece is simply magical and awe-inspiring. The peaceful moments spent creating can be soothing, sparking imagination and excitement. The world of pottery is both beautiful and deeply fascinating.
I would love to share this special time with you.
One by one, each participant will create a piece of artwork using a hand wheel. Anyone who is a junior high school student or older is welcome to participate, even if it is your first time.
You will have plenty of time to create your favorite shape and object at your own leisure.
What kind of people are today's members? Some are from outside of Tokyo and some are from other countries. These are the members who will spend a peaceful time together.
Get away from the daily routine and get in touch with nature. Each of us enjoys the time to face the clay.
First, let's learn the basics of pottery. We will make a palm-sized bowl. The clay is softer than expected. Carefully, little by little, carefully. By proceeding slowly and calmly, your mind will be at ease. Don't worry about failure, pottery is natural, so it is difficult, and it is interesting that it doesn't turn out the way you want, and it is common even for professionals to get cracks. It is important to be open-minded and enjoy that find your ideas, even if there are some cracks. I am sure that you will create wonderful works of art during the time you spend making pottery.
At the end you decide which one you want to fire and choose the glaze (color, blue or white). If you want to fire more than one piece, you have the option to do so. The studio will take care of the work to complete the vessels you have made. The finished product will be ready in about a month.
For beginners: No prior experience is needed, so you can join with confidence.
Individual hand-turning experience: Each participant will use a hand-rotating pottery wheel to create their own piece.
Step-by-step guidance: We’ll start by practicing basic techniques together while watching a demonstration. After that, you’re free to shape and create whatever you like at your own pace.
