北鎌倉駅から徒歩約10分、浄智寺さんの参道の奥。400〜500坪あると思われる敷地に ポツリと小さ古民家が佇んでいます。鎌倉時代に拓かれたとおぼしき土地は、ぐるりと緑の谷戸に囲まれていて、陶芸の薪窯や底深い井戸もあるという希有な環境。鎌倉ならではの歴史と文化を感じる「場」を活かして、鎌倉の文化やアート、生活スタイルの発信拠点を創りたい、、。そんな風にお話していた【たからの庭】のオーナーに賛同した地元で活躍している陶芸家が集まり、昭和10年頃から40年代にかけて作陶工房として使われていた窯小屋を、2010年秋よりコツコツと半年をかけて作陶スペースとして整備し、【たからの窯】として陶芸をお楽しみいただけるようになりました。
【たからの窯】では、初心者の方から楽しめる半日のうつわ作り体験教室や、個性豊かな講師陣が提供する本格的な陶芸ワークショップを開催しています。また、薪で焼成する陶芸窯は年に数回火が入り、窯焚きにも参加することが出来ます。この都心からわずか一時間半の場所にある、自然豊かな谷戸風景を眺めながら、昔ながらの薪で焚く陶芸窯と、小さな陶芸スタジオを備えた【たからの窯】で、あなたも世界にひとつだけの器を作ってみませんか。
About Our studio
10 minute walk from Kitakamakura station, climbing deeper into the narrow path from the approach to Jochiji Temple, you will find a small old Japanese folk house standing alone in a land larger than 1 acre. The land, which appeared to have been cultivated during the Kamakura Era (1185-1333), is in a valley surrounded by eroded hills. It is a unique land with an old ceramic wood kiln and a deep well. Making use of this place that is very Kamakura, a place where you can feel her history and culture, the owner of this small wooded garden which we now call “Takara no niwa – garden of treasures,” expressed the wish to create this place as a source of Kamakura’s culture, art, and life style. Like-minded potters active in the area gathered together and renovated the old kiln house, which used to be a professional potter’s studio back in 1930s to 1960s. Slowly renovating and organizing the space from the fall of 2010, after a half year, we opened “Takara no kama – Takara Clay Studio,” a ceramic workshop where anybody can enjoy pottery trial lessons.
At Takara Clay Studio, we offer a variety of ceramic lessons and workshops from casual 1-2 hour handbuilding classes for any skill level students to more full-scale advanced workshops designed by our unique instructors. Our wood kiln is also fired few times every year. If you have a wish, you can join the firing as well. The studio is located only 1.5 hours from the central Tokyo.
We invite you to join us and create your one-of-a-kind vessel at Takara Clay Studio, a small pottery studio with a traditional wood fired kiln, enjoying the scenery rich of nature in the wooded valley.
