	Tea vessel classes
In this class participants use their imagination to make their own tea vessels. First he or she will have to decide the shape, color and the design of the vessel and then our instructors will individually assist in completing the work. Everyone can make his own beautiful pottery vessels.

Saideigama instructors are going to guide all participants individually. Lectures proceed according to participant’s attendance. The procedure basically begins with every individual choosing the type of the clay according to his or her personal taste, then selecting the shape of the vessel and finally the decoration. ・Course Duration: 60 min ・Process Decisions: Size, shape, color and other arrangements ・Charges: vary on the items produced (estimated during the creation process) ・Overall process duration: 1 month　　　　　　　　Class Dates Procedure 1st visit 2nd visit 3rd visit Date and time settlement Proposals, cost estimation and general arrangements Creation process Final settlements and item delivery Free of charge Charged The unparallel joy of performing a tea ceremony using tea vessels you made yourself One of the most important elements of the Tea ceremony is to please the guests invited. Today, the way the Tea ceremony is performed has changed significantly from the past; instead of being performed outdoors, recently it is more common and convenient to use small rooms in our houses. Therefore, although a famous potter's work would be appropriate for formal occasions, when performing the Tea ceremony for friends and family we would recommend using your own tea vessels. As the hot water gets into the tea vessel, an indescribable warm feeling starts to spread all over your body starting from the palm of your hand. However, if you have created your own tea vessels a new variable is added into the process, the one of the creator.This variable is the main ingredient evident in all items referred to as fine items. I like practicing the tea ceremony myself. I really enjoy inviting friends at home for tea parties and use tea bowls, water containers and flower vessels I made myself. I do not know whether most of you are aware of that feeling of joy or not, so I am inviting everyone to come and see, ask and put your hearts into creating your own tea vessels. It is a feeling that can not be compared or felt with ready made items bought from shops. In this class we would like to help you make your own tea ceremony vessels. Also, we want to help you find your own “way” to please your tea ceremony guests.
