About the painting experience

We are holding a workshop at Toya Kyoto Studio where you can enjoy authentic overglaze painting.
You can try your hand at creating your own unique piece of art together 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.

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

We will practice brush painting on Japanese paper using brushes and paints.

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.
