Going back 14,000 years to the Jomon Period, Japan’s relationship with pottery is one of the oldest in the world. Now, you too can be a part of that legacy! At the Uchiharano Pottery Centre in Aki you can try your hand at making cups, bowls, plates or anything else you can imagine.
For ¥2100 you can make up to 2 pieces with 1 kg of clay, and for ¥2830 you can make up to 3 pieces with 1.5 kg. The Centre will both bake and paint your piece for you in a color of your choice. In 6 weeks you can pick it up, or they can mail it to you.
You can also paint ready-made pieces (starting at ¥730), make glass Tombodama balls (¥2300) or decorate glass with a sandblaster (starting at ¥1050). Reservations are required for making the Tombodama, and people with reservations get priority for the other courses.
