Great fun experience!! - Had a great time with Anna today, she was very patient and kind and had a great knowledge of history and traditions of Japanese pottery which made the experience even more meaningful. Lovely quiet part of Osaka, with Anna’s pieces being hard to resist. Love to support a local small business ❤️ highly recommend

Fun and informative activity with great company and a unique souvenir to take home of Japan - My husband and I had a great evening with Anna making pottery. Neither of us have much experience with clay, but Anna made us feel like professionals and she was so pleasant to work with—it felt like we were friends by the end of the activity. He made the sushi plate and I made the sake set and we were elated to also learn a lot about the customs around these dishes from Anna, in addition to picking her brain for her experience with other aspects of Japan as well. We learned a lot and had a great time doing it! I’d recommend this activity to anyone going to Osaka who is interested in going beyond the touristy level of knowledge and getting their hands a little dirty in the process.

Unique, learning experience - My girlfriend and I took on this experience with Anna as our teacher. We absolutely loved the experience with the clay but also Anna's knowledge and what we learnt about Japaneae culture and traditional pottery. This was my second time learning from Anna and i enjoyed to experience just as much as the first time. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves art or anyone who wants to learn some unique parts of Japanese culture. Anna is an amazing teacher with lovely chars and laughs along the way. Anna also recommended local coffee shops and eateries in the area which were very helpful 😀

I had a great time with... - I had a great time with Anna and learning about the hand building pottery process! It was definitely a very different process than wheel throwing. I recommend Anna and this class for beginners or experienced potters. Anna is very friendly and patient. Thank you Anna for giving me tips and information on where I can go see/buy traditional Japanese pottery.

Amazing ceramics class and insights into Osaka and Japanese culture - This was such an amazing experience to have while in Japan! Anna and Jill were so amazing with explaining and helping with not only the process for making our pieces (the chawan or traditional tea cups), but also the cultural significance of the ceramics and the history and customs associated with each one. They also provided us with recommendations for good places to visit for food and activities during our stay in Osaka, which were great! We also got to go and see Anna’s studio and pieces for sale on the second floor, which was so pretty! We would recommend this to anyone staying in Japan for a great cultural experience with a great and personal souvenir to take home at the end.
