Kintsugi Accessory
Would you like to make beautiful Japanese accessories from broken or chipped vessels?
You will repair them using modern techniques using putty and synthetic resin, so there is no need to worry about getting a rash on your hands.
This is a relatively simple kintsugi experience, so please join us.
The technique is based on NEO-Kintsugi
NEO-Kintsugi
The kintsugi technique is demonstrated in an easy-to-understand manner.
The instructor will give personalized advice to each participant as he or she finishes the work.
This is a workshop to experience simple kintsugi (metal-joining). Synthetic resin and brass powder are used instead of natural resin and pure gold. Synthetic resin dries quickly and is hypoallergenic. However, since an adhesive is used, please be careful not to accidentally ingest or ingest. Use at your own discretion and we are not responsible for its use.
This method is suitable for decorative and non-food ceramics.
Restored pottery is not suitable for use in dishwashers, microwave ovens, ovens, or stoves.
Examples: catch baskets, decorative displays, jewelry trinket trays, trinket trays, etc.
Take it home and enjoy your unique work of art the same day!

Real Japanese style sharpening
Sharpening knives with a whetstone gives them a very sharp edge, and regular sharpening will help maintain sharpness and extend the life of Japanese kitchen knives. The whetstone is a cost-effective sharpening tool compared to other sharpening methods, such as expensive electric sharpeners.
Customizing the sharpening method according to your own preferences and the type of knife you are sharpening will give you optimal results.
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of kitchen knives and how to sharpen knives for home use.
