Pottery painting

Today we ventured out in the rain to paint pottery near Arita. A friend had suggested it and I thought it would be a fun thing to do while my mom was here. Denise and family also came. Of course Andrew and Ben breezed through their painting but my mom, Kat, Denise and I took our time. Pottery is very popular in this part of Japan and Arita and the surrounding towns produce a lot of famous pottery.

Being creative :)

This is my finished product. It will be fired and during the firing the plate will turn white and the design will be blue. Arita is known for its' blue and white pottery.

Trying to keep the boys and the babies entertained while we worked.
