Making a clay figurine

"A tool used by Jomon people for prayer? Try to make a human or animal-shaped figurine"

In this workshop, you will make a clay figurine with clay (250g of clay is used).
First make parts such as the body, head, and limbs, join the pieces together, and then add a pattern to finish.
Your clay figurine will be completed after drying it for about 1 month and then open-firing (kiln-firing) it.

※ If you cannot come to the museum on the open-firing day, we will do it for you. In that case, please come to collect your work at a time after that.
※ Please be aware that there may be some damage to your work when drying or open-firing it.
