Oita, Japan

Work Study Program

January - February 2025

We are excited to announce Brave Ceramics is packing their bags after being awarded the Oita Business Internship from the Austin Oita Sister City Committee.

Our focus will be meeting local artisans and makers to learn about their work with a focus on ceramics artists. Our goal is to soak in as much culture, knowledge, and unique experiences as possible. Can’t wait to share our trip with the community when we get back.

Thank you to the Austin Oita Sister City Committee and Oita Japan-America Society for this opportunity.
