Pottery, a hobby for the whole family

Pottery is an old form of art made even more popular by Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze in the classic film, Ghost.  If you are mulling over taking up a hobby that can be enjoyed by all the members of the family, pottery-making promises not to disappoint.  It allows every individual, young or old, to develop and express their own creative streak in what could one day be a very memorable souvenir of Japan especially for families who are here on a temporary basis. If your knowledge of Japanese is little or none at all, no need to fret. That’s what makes Tokyo-living exciting for all of us foreigners. Look up Eriko’s pottery class. (www.pottery-tokyo.jp)

 

Eriko’s pottery class offers selected courses suitable to each and every member of the family. Check out their group, twosome or private lessons making objets d’art at your request. Or learn how to make Japanese bowls, cups and  other dish ware. What better way to learn it than under the direction of a once expat herself, Eriko,  who can teach the courses in English.  

 

There are two locations in Tokyo serving the foreign community, Shinagawa and Daikanyama, although the latter seems to be a more spacious option.

 

Fun, interesting, accessible and course fees are very reasonable.
