We are holding a workshop where you can enjoy painting at Toya Kyoto Studio.
You can try your hand at making your own unique piece with your family and friends.
Even beginners are welcome to try it out, so please enjoy the painting experience at Toya as a memory of your trip to Kyoto.
For more details, please check the information below and make a reservation using the dedicated form.
Flow of the painting experience
1. Choose your substrate
Please choose your favorite plate from the 6 sun/approximately 18.5 cm (left image) and 7 sun/approximately 21 cm (right image) base plates.
*If you would like to draw two or more images, we can make them for you at an additional charge as shown below.
・6-inch plate 7,150 yen ・7-inch plate 11,000 yen
2. Think about the design
You can choose to either draw your favorite design or use a stencil called nenshi to draw the design. It will go more smoothly if you have a design in mind beforehand.
3. Practice
Using a brush and ink, you will practice writing on washi paper.
4. Make a guess
Using a special pencil or paper, draw a rough outline of the design onto the plate.
5. Painting
Let's actually use paint to paint on the vessel.
The product will be baked at our store and delivered by mail approximately one month later.
The above flow is a guideline. Please note that it may change depending on the situation on the day.
