琉球びんがた体験 沖縄伝統の染物でオリジナル作品作り 選べる2プランでお気軽に参加◎<約30分~90分/国際通りてんぶす那覇>

Highly recommended for families with children. 子供連れに特におすすめ

Reviewed by: dksaori

Since it was forecasted to rain, I made a reservation here in advance for an indoor experience. Fortunately, during the time we experienced it, there were no other participants besides the two of us, so we received thorough explanations. We signed up for two coasters and an optional small tote bag. First, we chose our favorite design from several options. The painting was not too difficult, so I recommend it for families with elementary school children. After the experience, it seems that we will complete the tote bag and coasters at home by ironing and washing them, so I'm looking forward to seeing the finished tote bag and coasters once we get back home. It's located along Kokusai Street, so you can also stroll and shop in the area before and after the experience, making it especially recommended on rainy days.

雨予報だったので事前に雨でも室内で体験できるこちらを予約しました。
たまたまだったのか体験した時間帯は私たち2人以外に体験する人がいなかったので丁寧に説明していただきました。
私たちはコースター2枚とオプションでトートバッグ(小)を申し込みました。
まずは何種類かある中で好きな柄を選びました。絵付けはそんなに難しくないので小学生のお子さんがいるご家族におすすめです。
体験が終わった後、自宅に戻ってからアイロンがけや洗濯をして完成するそうなので帰宅後完成したトートバッグとコースターを見るのが楽しみです。
国際通り沿いにあり、体験の前後で国際通りの散策やショッピングもできるので
雨の日には特におすすめです。

Great authentic experience!

Reviewed by: Kel

Our experience was great!

We started off with a homemade dessert treat, and Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They patiently walked us through the process of creating our own pieces, and gave us information on equipment to purchase here in Japan in order to do kintsugi back home.

Overall a lovely way to have a personalized souvenir and learn more about the art of Kintsugi.

Participating in a cultural tradition

Reviewed by: Alaska

We thoroughly enjoyed our kintsugi lesson with Kuge Crafts. In a snug little studio our class of four students were charmed by the instructor husband and wife team. The lesson was well planned and timed. We chose our small nicked vessels from an array of antique cups and immediately set about repairing and decorating them with golden lacquer. The results were so pleasing. and well-packed for travel home.

This class was a highlight of our trip. My 18 yo daughter and 21 yo son also enjoyed the kintsugi experience very much. Class was just the 3 of us, was very well run and we were able to do all steps of the repair process. Our still wet teacups were packaged very well and came home in one piece without shifting out of place.

We challenged ourselves as a family. Once we chose our favorite weft yarn, they taught us carefully in a one-on-one setting. It's enjoyable for everyone, from adults to elementary school students. While I was impressed by the loom system, it was a one-hour session that required mental effort, as it's easy to make mistakes if you let your guard down.

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Wonderful even for the unexcited ones!

Reviewed by: Cass

My 80 year old father was just going to humor me, but the lovely couple who run Kuge crafts won him over instantly. They were just wonderful and so willing to share their love of kintsugi. We were greeted with beautiful snacks and tea and were able to pick our item from a selection. We were then told how old our items were. Ours were from the Edo period. We got right to work repairing the miniature chips, it’s a beginner class! Our cups turned out so beautiful and my father surprisingly got very into decorating his! He said it was his favorite activity we’d done in our two week trip. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! They also gave us a very helpful list of all the items needed to do this at home. I was able to get everything at Hands and can’t wait to attempt this again.
Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon!

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Delightful!!

Reviewed by: Carolee

I spent a lovely couple of hours learning about and trying my hand at kintsugi with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko. They make quite a team!

We received snacks to start and tea throughout. We choose from among a dozen chipped cups to repair and then walked through the process at a leisurely pace. They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home.

Kintsugi can be a much more creative craft than I realized. I highly recommend this class for both the interaction Y. and Y. and the activity.

After touring the castle town of Sasayama, we drove to the electric pottery wheel experience. We were a bit rushed as we were close to our reservation time, but we were able to use the restroom, and the experience began. The four of us, a couple doing hand-throwing and my child and I, all challenged ourselves to make tea bowls. The electric pottery wheel experience ended surprisingly quickly, but it was a fun experience. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products.

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

Group of 6 from Hawaii glass etching experience

Reviewed by: Char

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. The instructor took us step by step to explain the technique of glass etching and he was to patient and calm during the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family. It was just steps outside of the Asakusa train Station….so convenient.

Creating unique Shisa (Okinawan guardian lion-dogs) 個性のでるシーサー作り

I was very happy to be able to create a Shisa as a keepsake! Since I could decide on the balance and size of the beard based on my own ideas, I feel like I was able to make an original piece that reflected my personality, rather than ending up with the exact same Shisa as my friend who went with me. Also, chatting with the person who taught us how to make the Shisa was really enjoyable; before I knew it, three hours had passed! I'm really looking forward to it arriving at my home in 2-3 months! 🌺☀️

シーサーという形に残るものを思い出として作ることができたのがとても嬉しかったです!
ヒゲのバランスや大きさを自分の考えでつけることができるため、一緒に行った友達と全く同じシーサーにはならず、個性の出たオリジナルのものが作れたなと感じています。

Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.

She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.

【原宿】たらし込みアート体験 アート・ミュージック・ドリンクを楽しむ贅沢なひと時 世界に一つだけのオリジナル作品を作成<午後/2時間>

I had a great time! 楽しい時間でした!

Reviewed by: たんたん

I participated with a friend. The instructor's explanations were thorough, so I was able to participate without worry, even as a beginner.

One slight disappointment was that one of the instructors seemed to be juggling three lessons at once, which led to longer waiting times. (They looked very busy, and I felt a bit sorry for them.) Also, it mentioned that the music was selected by the DJ, but I thought it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more variety in the music, as it was the same artist playing for a long time.

The experience was fun, so I would like to visit again. Thank you!

お友達と2人で参加しました。
講師の方の説明も丁寧で初めてでも心配なくできました。

少し残念だったのが1人の講師の方が3つのレッスンを掛け持って教える感じになってしまい、中断して待たされる時間が長かったです。(とても忙しそうで少し可哀想になってしまいました。)
あと説明にDJがセレクトした音楽と書いてありましたが、途中からずーっと同じアーティストで音楽のバリエーションがあればもっと楽しくなるかなぁと思いました。

体験は楽しかったのでまた遊びに行きたいなと思います。
ありがとうございました!

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 <南阿佐ヶ谷>by 手仕事屋久家

I would highly recommend. お薦めします【I would highly recomended】

Reviewed by: かず

I was interested in a kintsugi workshop and participated. They even prepared tea and snacks, allowing us to choose our pottery while learning the kintsugi process through conversation. I also received a list of necessary items to do it myself in the future. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a pleasant manner. When I attended, there was another person from Australia, and we enjoyed chatting while working together, and we returned home together. I believe that even foreigners can participate without any issues.

金継ぎ教室に興味があり、参加しました。
お茶やお菓子までご用意していただき、お話しながら器を選び金継ぎの手順を学べます。今後、自身でもできる様に必要な物のリストもいただけます。とってもお人柄の良い方で気持ちよく教えていただきました。私が参加した時は、もう一人オーストラリアからお越しの方とご一緒で楽しく会話しながら作業を行い、帰りは一緒に帰りました。外国人の方でも問題なくご参加いただけると思います。

壺屋焼体験 シーサーorロクロ作り ここでしか作れない思い出の一品!伝統工芸の魅力をたっぷり体験◎<約90分/国際通りてんぶす那覇>

You can easily make authentic Shisa even if it's your first time! 本格的なシーサーを初めての人でも簡単に作れる!、

Reviewed by: Oki

Last time, I made a male shisa, and this time I came to make a shisa with its mouth closed. With the teacher's advice along the way, I was able to create a genuine shisa with my own hands! Also, this time I made it with my family, who are not very good at crafts, but it seemed like they had a lot of fun and made some cool shisa! The staff at the office and the shisa-making teacher were all very kind! If you ever visit Okinawa, be sure to stop by!

前回はオスのシーサーを作らせてもらい、今回は口を閉じたシーサーを作りに来ました。先生アドバイスを随時からながら自分の手で一つの本格的なシーサーを作ることができました!また、今回は工作が苦手な家族と一緒に作ったのですが、楽しくできたようで、カッコいいシーサーを作っていました!役所の方もシーサー作りの先生の方も皆とても親切でした!ぜひ沖縄に来た際には訪れてみてください!

沖縄の木を使った木製ペン作り 記念品やプレゼントに最適な世界に1つだけのハンドメイドのペンを製作<1~3時間/午前or午後/沖縄本島南部>

A workshop that can create one-of-a-kind pens in the world. 世界でオンリーワンのペンを作れる工房

Reviewed by: ぽかぽか

I made a reservation for the experience of creating my own original pen in Okinawa!

There are Kadomatsu trees, Ryukyu pines, and even some unique purple wood options!

This time, my family and I challenged ourselves to make mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens.

After receiving a thorough explanation, the experience started. The two hours flew by! With gentle and detailed support, I was able to create a one-of-a-kind pen that is truly unique!

Thank you very much! ♪

沖縄で自分だけのオリジナルペンが作れるとのことで、予約体験しました!

カジュマルの木もあれば琉球松、変わりどころではパープル系のウッドも幾つかあります!

今回は家族でシャープペンとボールペン作りに挑戦しました。

一通りの説明を受け体験スタート。2時間があっという間に過ぎました!優しく細かなサポートもあり、世界に一つだけのオンリーワンを作ることができました!

本当にありがとうございました♪

Dear Pokapoka,

Thank you for participating in the wooden pen-making workshop yesterday.

I'm glad you enjoyed it on the last day of your trip to Okinawa. From dynamic carving to delicate finishing, you picked it up quickly and it was "surprising‼️" The completed pen is a testament to your skill.

Thank you also for posting your kind review.

首里織体験 選べる3コース 伝統の織物作りを手軽に体験しよう◎雨の日にもオススメ<約30分~90分/国際通りてんぶす那覇>

We had a great time as a family! 親子で楽しめました!

Reviewed by: haru

When I first heard the explanation, I was worried about whether I could remember everything, but the instructions were given very kindly and thoroughly, making it easier than I expected, and I had a lot of fun! My elementary school daughter was also taught gently and carefully while making her own piece next to me, which allowed me to focus on my own weaving. She was very happy to choose her favorite colors and see the piece she made. At first, she said she didn't want to make anything big, but by the time we were leaving, she expressed a desire to try making something a bit larger next time.

最初説明を聞いた時は、覚えれるかなと心配になったのですが、とても丁寧に説明していただきながら進めていくので、思ったよりも簡単で、すごく楽しかったです!小学生の娘にも優しく丁寧に教えていただきながら隣で作っていたので、私も自分の織物作りに集中することができました。自分で好きな色を選んで、自分で作った織物を見て、とても喜んでいました。最初は、大きいのは作りたくないと言っていた娘ですが、帰る時には、今度はもう少し大きいものも挑戦してみたいと言っていました。
