東京傳統玻璃雕刻工藝的導覽之旅

Workshop Agenda

Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Edo Kiriko, Japan's treasured art of glass carving. This tradition, with roots tracing back to 1834 during the Edo period, flourishes in the heart of Tokyo. Did you know? In 1985, Edo Kiriko was hailed as one of Tokyo's iconic crafts and by 2002, it wore the badge of honor as Japan's official traditional handicraft.

Here's How Your Day Unfolds:

• Inspiration First: Dive into the legacy of Kiriko glass cutting and witness the elegance of Japan's cherished artistic traditions. (20 mins)

• Carving Intro: Our expert will walk you through the process, followed by a live demo. Pick up some tricks and tips as you gear up for the hands-on experience.

• Hands On the Glass: Choose your favorite pattern from our collection of ten. It's now your canvas to express! Start by delicately carving the base of the glass. (30 mins)

• Detailing and Finishing Touches: Now, focus on the glass's side, selecting another pattern if you wish. Let your creativity flow. (30 mins)

• Capture the Moment: As you conclude your masterpiece, it's photo time! Cherish your artistry with a snapshot. (10 mins)

Whether you're a curious first-timer, a family with budding artists, or someone looking to dive deep into Japanese culture, this workshop welcomes all. The cherry on top? Your hand-carved glass isn't just a memory, it's a souvenir! We'll pack it up neatly for you. And if you'd rather not carry it around, we've got delivery options (for a small fee).
