WORKSHOP - Nabeshima Porcelain Painting w/ Hataman Touen
Description
In this 80-minute session, you’ll have the opportunity to hand-paint a 9.5" (24cm) porcelain plate using traditional Nabeshima overglaze techniques. The plate base is the same as our Restaurant Maison 24 plate (valued at $150), but features a limited-edition sakura (cherry blossom) design exclusive exclusively for this workshop.
No experience is required—beginners are welcome. All sketching will be pre-applied, allowing you to focus on color and brushwork using traditional Nabeshima overglaze techniques. After the session, your piece will be kiln-fired locally and shipped to your address in a beautifully packaged, original Hataman Touen gift box.
Seats are limited and early sign-ups are strongly encouraged. A small waitlist may be available in case of cancellations.

About Hataman Touen 畑萬陶苑
Founded in 1926 in Okawachiyama, a secluded kiln village in Saga Prefecture, Japan, Hataman Touen carries forward the 370-year legacy of Imari Nabeshima ware. Once known as "The Village of the Secret Kilns," Okawachiyama was the exclusive seat of porcelain production for Japan's feudal lords, the shogunate, and the Imperial Court.
Now in its fifth generation under Shuuji Hataishi, the studio works across a range of expressions: Texture, a minimalist line that elevates food presentation through unique surface techniques; Moist, a matte celadon that is cool and smooth to the touch; and Cuir, whose porcelain surface closely mimics the grain and luster of leather.
Hataman Touen has also collaborated with Nike, New Balance, and MAISON Paris, extending the vocabulary of Nabeshima ware into contemporary design.
