Arita Creative Residency Studio

Arita has produced fine porcelain since the early 1600s, and this residency studio brings that tradition into conversation with contemporary design. International and Japanese ceramic artists work in residence alongside established local potters, and visitors can watch the process through large workshop windows. The studio also runs hands-on workshops where you work directly with the local porcelain clay, learning basic throwing or hand-building techniques in the same tradition that shaped Meissen and Delft centuries ago. A worthwhile addition to any visit to the Arita kiln district.
