Pottery workshop

Tsugaru Kanayama pottery has been strongly influenced by sueki, which used to be produced centuries ago. It is created by the yakishime method, involving firing and hardening the pottery at 1,350°C without using any glazes. The finished pottery features a truly unique and sophisticated texture.
The kiln can be visited year-round for free. There are also pottery workshops with easy-to-understand instructions from professionals.
