■Plant Pots Making Workshop
□植木鉢作りワークショップ

Can’t find your ideal plant pots? Then you can make your own.

You have 2 options:

Option 1 – You will start with 1 pre-made bowl shape, which Keiko has thrown on potter’s wheel in advance. You can add decorations, cutting, carving (pot is still soft) or make holes to hang. This option is good for those who want to spend their time decorating. You are given one pot and a few options of pots shapes are available (approximately 15cm x 15cm).

Option 2 – You start from scratch. You make your own shape and decorate it yourself. You are given a ball of clay (1 to 1.5kg approximately) to create one pot or two smaller pots. Recommended for experienced people or someone who doesn’t want to decorate much.
