Private Handicraft Session with Japanese Ceramics in Osaka
Osaka, Japan
We offer a pottery workshop in Osaka with an English, Spanish and Catalan speaking potter (the explanation can also be done in Japanese). While we talk about Japanese gastronomy and culture, the visitors can experience the traditional way of making pottery in Japan.
Choose one of the following plans:
-set of sake (sake bottle and cup)
-a chawan (tea bowl)
-a sushi set (dish and chopsticks rest)
■Create a souvenir of your trip to Japan
■Enjoy ceramic learning with an instructor who has studied in Osaka and Barcelona.
■Enjoy a private class, exclusively for you.
■The price includes a small dish and a chopsticks rest, handmade for use with Japanese traditional design and materials. You can take it with you the day you come to the studio.
■Learn a traditional art while talking about Japanese culture.
The space is located in a house made of wood and earth built 100 years ago, so you can also see a typical Osaka house from before the Second World War.
5 participants max.
Description
Itinerary
In the workshop, we will made ceramic related to Japanese gastronomy with clay. You can choose between the following options:
-sake set (small bottle and glass)
-sushi set (sushi plate and chopstick holder)
-chawan for tea
During the workshop, Anna will talk about Japanese culture. Participants will receive as a souvenir a small plate for sushi (decorated with traditional glazw) and a chopstick holder in the shape of a sakura flower made by Anna. If desired, the pieces made during the workshop can be sent to the participant's home (shipping costs are not included).
The clay comes from Shigaraki, one of Japan's traditional pottery production areas.
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 Spanish or Catalan.
The building is a century-old two-storey house in the south of Osaka. It is located 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. In this non-touristy area, the walk from the station to the studio shows a real Osaka that you won't find in the guidebooks.
