Throw your own pottery on a traditional Kyoto kick wheel in our family-run studio in the Nishijin textile district. Under the patient guidance of master potter Yuki Sato, you will learn wedging, centering, shaping, and trimming techniques. Choose from four glaze colors and we will fire your piece for international shipping. No experience necessary — beginners welcome!
It was such a wonderful experience! The instructor was very kind and patient. I made a beautiful piece and will treasure it forever. Highly recommend this workshop!

Arigatou gozaimasu, Li Wei! We loved having you in the studio.
The workshop was good, but we had to wait for 20 minutes before it started. Overall okay.
Wonderful studio and very skilled instructor. The glaze options were beautiful.
The instructions were hard to follow and the kiln fired piece took longer than promised.
Patient teacher, beautiful studio, and a piece of Japan to take home.
We showed up on time but the workshop was overbooked and we had to leave.
Great fun and a unique experience. The piece arrived by mail in perfect condition.
