It'll be held in a 100 year-old traditional Japanese house with a mixed eastern style interior. The workshop will provide all the materials needed for a smoother experience. The workshop will have 2 levels available, the traditional kanzashi which will be easy and the sakura kanzashi which will be a little more difficult than the traditional one. The sakura kanzashi may take more time to make than the traditional one but the instructor will guide you throughout the workshop. There will also be a break time where the travelers can enjoy some matcha and Japanese sweets. After the workshop, they can take home their handmade kanzashi in a box and they can look around some kanzashis made by the instructor available for purchase.
Pickup included
We'll talk about the brief history of Tsumami-zaiku and then we will show the 2 options to choose from (1) traditional (2) Sakura "Cherry blossom". After choosing, we'll show a variety of patterned cloths and accessories to be used to design your own kanzashi, teaching how to make the kanzashi step by step. All the materials provided will already be precut and premade, except for the Kanzashi (petals). The teacher will guide the students throughout the process, so feel free to ask any questions, don't worry about making mistakes and have fun! The glue used to put together the Kanzashi will take some time to dry so during that time we will have a breaktime where we'll have some tea and snacks. There'll also be time to look at handmade items available for purchase. After the break, we'll hand out the finished Kanzashi wrapped up and ready to take home!
