I participated alone. I was nervous when putting the pattern into the glass, but I was kindly and carefully taught, and I was able to create it enjoyably. I had a really fun time.

The instructor was guiding six people at once, so there was inevitably some waiting time, but the explanations were incredibly thorough and easy to understand, allowing even someone as clumsy as me to create something that looked good!
When it comes to grinding glass, it's natural to be cautious and worry about breaking it, but it seems that applying a bit more pressure actually helps achieve deeper cuts. Once you grasp the technique, you can cut to a certain extent as you wish, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can be difficult to fix mistakes if you get carried away.
I had already decided on the design I wanted to create from the beginning, so I didn't take many risks, but among the participants, there were those who thought, "Since I came all this way, I want to make something I really want to!" and challenged themselves with more complex designs (samples were provided).
In the end, we polished our finished pieces beautifully and took photos while lighting them. They sparkled and looked so beautiful; I was very satisfied.
お兄さん1人で6人いっぺんに指導するのでどうしても待ちが発生しますが、説明は凄く丁寧で分かりやすく、不器用な自分でもそれっぽく作ることができました!
ガラスを削るとなると、どうしても割れないようにと怖々削りがちになりますが、思い切って力を入れた方が深く削れて良かったみたいです。コツが掴めればある程度思ったように削れたりもしますが、調子に乗って長く削りすぎると修正がきかないのでそこだけはご注意を。。。
自分は作りたいデザインを始めから決めてたのであまりチャレンジはしなかったですが、参加者の中には「せっかく来たのだから出来そうなものより作りたいものを!」と複雑なデザインにチャレンジする方も(サンプルは用意してあります)。
最後は出来上がった作品をキレイに磨いてもらって、ライティングしながらの写真撮影。キラキラしてとてもキレイで大満足でした。

This was a wonderful and insightful Kintsugi class. Yoshiko and Yoschiichiro made me feel very welcome, taught me a lot in a short amount of time (despite my very limited Japanese) and helped me repair a personal object I had brought. I feel well equipped to continue kintsugi at home now, but still look forward to another class next time I’m in Tokyo! There’s still so much to learn and I had such a nice time being part of their warm, peaceful community!

When it comes to art, I often feel like I might not be able to do it well and that I lack the sense for it, so it feels like a high hurdle. However, I was able to enjoy the experience in a friendly atmosphere with my friends.
What we experienced was "tarashikomi art." We layered our favorite colors and dripped them onto the canvas, and even just in the color creation process, our individuality shone through.
As we actually dripped the colors, the way we moved the canvas created various patterns. Even if we used exactly the same colors, no two pieces would turn out the same, which is one of the charms that makes me want to do it again!
アートというと上手くできるかな、センスないしな…と、ハードルが高く感じますが、友人と和気あいあいとした雰囲気で、楽しみながら体験できました。
私たちが体験したのは「たらし込みアート」です。
自分たちの好きな色を重ねて、キャンバスにたらし込んでいくのですが、この色作り1つをみても個性が出ます。
そして、実際たらし込んでいくのですが、キャンバスの動かし方で様々な模様が生まれ、例え全く同じ色で作ったとしても1つとして同じ作品は生まれないところも、またやりたい!と思える魅力の1つかもしれません。

The kids didn’t know what to expect but afterwards they raved about this experience. They made the regular sized parfait and enjoyed choosing the decorations first with a sample parfait, then pouring in the silicon icecream and arranging the decorations. The man helping was very friendly and patient. It was great to have this experience which we probably couldn’t do anywhere else in the world!

I participated with my first grader. They lent us aprons, and since we wore gloves while working, our hands only got a little dirty. First, we were served drinks. The children had apple juice.
The colors we created mostly determined the final product, but I realized after finishing that the proportions when mixing the colors at the end were important. We sprinkled gold leaf, glitter, and star shapes. It seemed like the children really enjoyed this part of the process.
The work progressed smoothly, and we finished in an hour. Since it's summer, they said the finished products would arrive at home in about a week. Even the children were able to create decent pieces, and it was a lot of fun.
小1の子どもといっしょに参加しました。エプロンを貸してくれて、手袋を着けて作業するので、少し手が汚れる程度でした。最初に飲み物が出ます。子どもはりんごジュースです。
色作りで作品はほとんど決まりますが、最後に作った色を混ぜる時の分量が大事だったと、作業し終わった後に思いました。
金箔やキラキラしたラメや星形など散らせます。子どもはこの作業が楽しかったようです。
順調に作業が進み、1時間で終了しました。
夏なので、1週間ほどで作品が家に届くそうです。
子どもでもそれなりの作品に仕上がり、楽しかったです。

I wasn't confident in the processing, but they explained everything carefully and allowed us to practice, so I was able to create something.
Thank you for this valuable experience.

I participated in the event during the rain of a wandering typhoon. Since it was during the day on a weekday, I was the only one there. I had the luxury of receiving one-on-one instruction from the teacher. There were many cute designs, so it was okay to have no plan for the design. At first, I was a bit nervous, but I gradually became able to cut smoothly. I had a great time chatting about our beloved cats with fellow cat owners.
迷走台風の雨のなか参加しました。
平日の昼間でしたのでその回は私だけ。
贅沢にも先生からマンツーマンでご指導頂きました。
かわいい図案がたくさんあって デザインがノープランでも大丈夫でした。

Thank you, Mi, for coming despite the typhoon the other day! That's right, we had a great time talking about cats. How is your cat doing? I would be happy if you remember me every time you use the glass. Please stop by again when you're in town. You can also experience our plates and wine glasses!

I participated in the rain brought by the wandering typhoon. I struggled with choosing a design due to the complexity of the many sample cuts and the difference in my own skills after practicing. I was nervous that if I carved too deeply, I might create holes. With the teacher's advice, I was able to complete it somehow. Next time, I want to challenge myself with a more complex design! (I had fun participating even on my own!)

I experienced this on the day of the typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to avoid the heavy rain, so after moving to the store, I was able to participate without any issues. The instructor's sister taught us with great care. I was grateful for the precise guidance on how to carve patterns that I find difficult and on areas for improvement. I could practice while preparing for the main event, and I was also taught difficult and stylish designs.
The instructor praised us very well, which kept my motivation high and allowed me to focus. Unfortunately, I carved too much and made a hole in my glass, but they suggested trying again. (I had to give up due to time constraints.) My wife, who participated with me, finished her piece properly, so I believe that with a little caution, anyone can create something well.
Although I made a hole, I still completed it, so I plan to use it as a cactus pot. However, I feel frustrated, so I want to try again. I think anyone who enjoys crafting will have a great time.
台風直撃日に体験しましたが、幸い土砂降りのタイミングから外れていた為、お店に移動後、問題なく体験できました。先生のお姉さんに丁寧に教えて頂けます。自分の苦手な模様の削り方や、改善ポイントなども的確に指導して頂けるが有難かったです。練習しながら本番に挑めますし、難しい図案や格好良い図案なども教えて頂けます。
とても上手に褒めてくださるので、モチベーションも下がらず、集中して挑めます。残念ながら私は削りすぎてグラスに穴を開けてしまいましたが、もう一つやってみますかとご提案して下さいました。(時間の都合で諦めました)一緒に体験した妻はキチンと仕上げていましたので、無茶しなければ上手に作ることが出来ると思います。
穴は空きましたが、完成はしたので、サボテン鉢にでも活用しようと思います。が、悔しいのでリベンジしようと思います。ものづくりが好きな方はとても楽しめると思います。
