Karatsu Pottery Making
Things to know
About the Activity
This is not just a pottery class — it is an immersive cultural experience in Karatsu, a city renowned for its centuries-old pottery tradition (Karatsu ware). You will work side by side with a local master potter in an authentic, working kiln, something rarely open to tourists. A local English-speaking guide will ensure meaningful interaction with the artisan, allowing you to learn about the history, techniques, and spirit of Karatsu pottery. Unlike mass workshops, this experience offers personal attention and the opportunity to create a unique piece of kitchenware with your own hands, which will be professionally fired and shipped to your home. It’s a memorable way to connect with Japanese culture and take home a truly one-of-a-kind souvenir.2 hours
