What you can expect

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

You will meet the ceramist at Teradachō station and head to the studio, a century-old, two-story house located next to a street lined with stores selling local food. The visit to the studio is an immersion into Showa-era Japan and a direct contact with the country's craftsmanship. You will get away from the tourist areas and see the authentic side of Osaka that you won't find in the tour guides.

In the workshop, you will create a ceramic piece related to Japanese cuisine using clay. You will be able to choose between making a sake set (small bottle and glass), a sushi set (sushi plate and chopstick holder), or a matcha tea bowl. The clay comes from Shigaraki, one of the traditional ceramic production areas in Japan. The colours used to decorate the pieces are also typical of the country. During the workshop, you will learn about Japanese culture from the ceramist.

The workshops are taught in Spanish, Catalan or English. Unlike other experiences related to ceramics, this is the only workshop offered in these languages. As a parting gift, you will receive a small sushi plate (decorated with traditional glazes) and a chopstick holder in the shape of a sakura flower, made by the ceramist.

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