Ishoken conducts two jobs. They are "Human resource development" and " Design support and Technical support "
Human resource developent
Since Ishoken's establishment, it has established a substantial training course in ceramics and is widely known as a training facility for learning ceramics. There are applications from all across Japan and from overseas. The training course covers a wide range of techniques and knowledge from kneading clay to molding technology, design and glaze development. In a vibrant atmosphere, we encourage students to spend time to think and consider a bright future in ceramics. Graduates are active as ceramic designers, craftsmen, and ceramicists. For details, please see the [Course Outline] page.
Design support and Technical support
We help the local ceramics industry with design consulting and prototyping. As well as, assisting the industry to meet health and safety requirements by measuring lead and cadmium leaching in glazes and thermal shock resistance.
