I painted the tea utensils.

The explanations were thorough and helpful.
I was able to draw at my own pace.
I painted flowers that reflect the four seasons in all directions.
I am looking forward to receiving the finished product after it is fired in a month. I want to make and drink matcha with this tea set.
説明も丁寧で助かりました 
ゆっくり自分のペースで描くことができました
四方に四季を感じる草花を描きました 
1カ月後に焼いて完成品が届くのを楽しみにしています この茶器で自分で抹茶をたてて飲みたいです

I decided to live together with my boyfriend, and to start, I wanted matching pottery! Since we wanted something original that we could personalize, I searched various options on Veltra and chose this shop because they had affordable prices and a variety of items!

We arrived about 30 minutes early, but they kindly welcomed us. We selected our teacups and received an explanation before diving into the challenge! Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only us and another couple, and we worked at…
I decided to live together with my boyfriend, and to start, I wanted matching pottery! Since we wanted something original that we could personalize, I searched various options on Veltra and chose this shop because they had affordable prices and a variety of items!

We arrived about 30 minutes early, but they kindly welcomed us. We selected our teacups and received an explanation before diving into the challenge! Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only us and another couple, and we worked at a considerable distance from each other. Of course, we wore masks during the painting experience!

First, we drew a sketch with a pencil and then traced over it with blue and brown brushes. The pencil lines are said to disappear when fired. The blue remains blue, while the brown turns black, and they mentioned that the blue will get a bit darker, but you need to apply the black more firmly to achieve the desired darkness! I was so absorbed in painting that over an hour passed in no time.

I thought it would be more enjoyable if there was a chart showing how different thicknesses would affect the final result, especially since mistakes can't be erased. We chose the two-color plan, and we had a great time!

The finished pieces will be ready in about a month, so I haven't seen them yet, but if they turn out nicely, I might want to experience it again!

The location is quite uphill towards Kiyomizu-dera, so there are many slopes! Wearing heels might be tiring!
彼氏と同棲をすることになり手始めにお揃いの陶器が欲しい!どうせなら自分達の手の加わったオリジナルのものがいい!ということでベルトラさんでいろいろ探したところこちらが安くて他にも種類があったのでこちらのお店に決めました!
時間よりも30分ほど早く着きましたが快くOKして下さり、湯呑みカップを選び説明を受けいざチャレンジ!
コロナの影響もありお客さんは私たちカップルともう1カップルのみでかなり離れた位置で取り組みました。絵付け体験中ももちろんマスク装着です!

まず鉛筆で下絵を描きその上を青と茶色の筆でなぞるよ…

まず鉛筆で下絵を描きその上を青と茶色の筆でなぞるように描きます。鉛筆の線は焼くと消えるそうです。
青はそのまま青色に、茶色は黒くなるそうで青色はちょっとでも濃くなるけど黒はしっかり描かないと黒さが出ないとおっしゃっておられました!
夢中で描いていたのであっという間に1時間ちょっとが経っていました。
失敗しても消せない点とどれくらいの濃さだとどれくらいの焼き上がりになるのかわかる表みたいなものがあればより濃淡の付け方がわかって楽しいのかなーと思いました!
あと私たちは二色のプランでしたが十分楽しめました!
焼き上がりが約1ヶ月後ということだったので、まだ出来上がりを見ていませんが、それがいい感じに仕上がっていたらまた体験しに行ってもいいのかなと思いました!

立地はかなり清水寺の方へ上がっていくので坂道が多いです!靴はヒールだと疲れちゃうかも!

Affordable fun souvineer

It was a pain to fund the location, the address given on the map is not where the shop is located at all. But it's a cool souvineer, especially if you live in Japan because between firing and shipping its going to take a month to be delivered.
