ASAHIYAKI  Pottery Class   in Uji

This is a pottery class run by ASAHIYAKI, a tea pottery with a history of 400 years in Uji, a famous tea producing region.
Uji is also a region full of romance that has become the stage of history such as "The tail of Genji" and the Genpei War.
You can enjoy the pottery experience in a relaxed mood in the scenic environment on the banks of the Uji River.

A group activity called Rakutokai, where celebrities from Uji gather and enjoy making pottery, began in 1951.
This has become a pioneer in Japanese ceramic art classes and  the origin of ASAHIYAKI pottery class.  

ASAHIYAKI pottery class has  two course types: a class that you attend regularly, an experience that completes a pottery work with a one-time visit. There are various courses that are useful for both beginners and those who are learning in earnest. Please feel free to contact us.
