Pottery Tour!

Hey everybody-- your friendly neighborhood Gifu AJET here. Our August
events were decidedly rain-soaked, but we're back again this month,
hopefully drier, with a great event!

This month, we're flexing our artistic muscles with a Gifu Pottery
tour. As you may or may not know, Gifu Prefecture is famous for its
ceramics. This is your chance to see a part of Gifu's history, plus--
total bonus-- you get to try your hand at the pottery wheel and can
get some shopping in as well!
