【Plan Details】

★Pottery Sculpting★
Create your own original piece from scratch by the sculpting the clay. There are three types of sculpting methods depending on what you want to make: the ball shape, the string shape, and the board shape.

◇ Items You Can Make
Plate, Large Sake Cup, Teacup, Chopstick Rest, Flower Vase, Tea Bowl, Decorative Ornament, Handprint Plate, etc.
※ We do not recommend extremely detailed work for beginners, but you may choose to make any kind of piece.

◇Price
aiTripper Special Plan (Includes a Cute Chopstick Rest Gift!)
Adult: 2,500 Yen
Child: 1,950 Yen
※ The amount of clay uses for the child price is half that of the adult's. (This is more than enough for a child to participate in the activity.)
※ For those who want the same amount as the adult's price, please make your reservation requesting the adult's price.

◇Days/Times
Times: 10:00 - 15:00
Necessary Time: Approx. 1 Hr. 30 Min. - 2 Hr.

◇Material Amount Estimate
You will be given 1 kg of clay which can be used to make 1 item under this plan.
※ It is possible to make up to 2 sake cups and 5 chopstick rests, but for each item (within the 1 kg limit), an additional 1,100 Yen fee will be charged.
※The numbers are limited due to the work required prior to heating the clay, such as sculpting and glazing. We thank you for your understanding.

★Painting★
Using an already-made plate, you will draw a pattern with pencil and then trace over it with a water-repellent solution.
This technique is called "kakinuki", where glaze isn't applied to the drawn lines.

◇Price
Small Plate: 800 Yen

◇Age Restrictions
This activity is suitable for all, regardless of age or gender.
We do ask that children 6 and under are accompanied by their parent/guardian. (Please read all details in advance.)
