Work with clay from the Shigaraki area and typical Japanese glazes to create a unique ceramic piece at this workshop in Osaka. Enjoy private, step-by-step instruction from a ceramist who has studied in both Osaka and Barcelona.

You'll meet the ceramist at Teradachō Station and head to the studio, a century-old two-story house located next to a street lined with shops selling local food. The visit to the workshop is an immersion in Showa-era Japan and direct contact with the country's crafts. You'll get away from the touristy areas and see the authentic side of Osaka that you won't find in the guidebooks.

At the workshop, you'll create a ceramic piece related to Japanese cuisine using clay. You can choose between making a sake set (small bottle and cup), a sushi set (sushi plate and chopstick rest), or a matcha tea bowl. The clay comes from Shigaraki, one of Japan's traditional pottery-making areas. The colours used to decorate the pieces are also typical of the country. During the workshop, you'll learn about Japanese culture from the potter.

The workshops are held in Spanish, Catalan or English. Unlike other pottery-related experiences, this is the only workshop offered in these languages. As a farewell gift, you'll receive a small sushi plate (decorated with traditional glazes) and a sakura blossom-shaped chopstick rest, made by the ceramist.

If you wish, the pieces made during the workshop can be shipped to your home (shipping costs are not included). The estimated shipping time for the ceramics is approximately two months.
