INQUIRIES

Kusanokashira Kiln

English site
Kusanokashira Kiln has recently started offering pottery retreat courses, including lodging. The courses, taught by classic pottery masters, are focused on classic Mino ware and last from 2 to 6 weeks. Some include firing at a recreated medieval anagama kiln in the hills outside of Tajimi. These workshops are for people who want to learn classic Japanese pottery in earnest. The kiln has an English web site with extensive material, and you can make a preliminary reservation and final booking via their e-commerce system.

ENGLISH SITE
"Modern ceramist Setsuro Shibata will instruct you in this cosy environment. You can enjoy working at your own pace, from a one-day experience to a full course. We recommend our courses for those who are interested in trying pottery freely, regardless of the form and colour. We have provided accommodation at the workshop since 2011, and it has proven popular not only among Japanese students but also among many visitors from overseas who come to spend time learning the craft of pottery. We provide guidance so that you can shop for food and baths in the close vicinity of our studio."
