About delivery of the work The work will be fired in a climbing kiln for 2 weeks, so you will have to wait 3 to 6 months for it to be completed. Please come to the workshop to pick it up at your convenience, or we will deliver it by mail as soon as it is completed. Shipping fee of 1,200 yen will be charged separately (up to 4 pieces / 1 location) Bizen ware is a delicate piece of pottery, so there is a possibility that it may be damaged during firing. In that case, we will send you a work by a Bizen ware artist instead of the work you made. What to bring Towel apron
