I teach advanced ceramics at a high school with a very strong program in
hand built ceramics. I am traveling to Japan for about 10 days this summer
and would like some advice on pottery villages worth visiting. My interest
is more in hand built ceramics. I am also interested in finding out about
Japanese brush painting and the possibility of doing a workshop in it, wher=
e
I could learn some simple techniques.
Are there galleries of contemporary potters work? Are the villages and kil=
n
sites easily accessible to tourists? Where would one shop for affordable
pottery? Do you know of any villages known for their porcelain?
Do you have a recommendation for a travel agent who may have some knowledge
about the above?
I appreciate any advice and guidance I can get.
Thanks.
