Hanakoushi cotton Scarf Class

A nice introduction to Japanese textile culture. Very friendly reception and guidance in our creative class. With a beautiful end product (scarf) as result😀.

This was a wonderful hands on experience that gives you something to take home from your time in a Japan that you made. The class was fun, very well explained and demonstrated. The museum upstairs is a must. We had a young gentleman curator that took the time to explain and demonstrate Shibori techniques. I was totally fascinated. He was wonderful and gave me a whole new appreciation for the art of Shibori and its many fascinating techniques and processes. Wow! Highly recommend.

Very easy and fun way to make a special souvenir of your trip. We really enjoyed the museum after our lesson and purchased a purse for my mom and samue for my dad.

Boy, was this a lot of fun!! I had been looking forward to this class since I first registered for it. My husband and I each made a Sekka Shibori scarf…now I have two scarves. 😉. Everyone was so kind and helpful. And there was even a nice “unveiling” ceremony of our product at the end of the class. As the staff was packaging up our scarves, we were invited to go upstairs to the museum/shop and watch a short film about the history of Shibori. As with all crafts, it’s a dying art, unfortunately. We also had a private tour of the museum by the owner, who is a fabulous artist in his own right. I would highly recommend taking this class and meeting all the lovely artists/staff who take great pride in their work.

This was really fun and we are proud of our beautiful scarves. We highly recommend this experience. Shibori is a traditional art in Japan and we learned about the different techniques which can be very intricate and fascinating. The instructors were knowledgeable, welcoming and easy to understand.

fab workshop. we were guided by someone very skillful and kind. It was so exciting to see how good our finished scarves were. Thankyou Kyoto Shibori Museum

This was a great workshop if you want a hands on experience. Lovely instructors and the process has been modernised/simplified for tourists so you’re not spending hours tying little bits of fabric. You end up with a beautiful silk scarf to take away. The museum is also very interesting.

Beautiful, welcoming, fun, simple, and a great keepsake. Family-run, masterful and totally Japanese. People spoke solid English.

Such a fun, informative class learning the intricacies of this beautiful art form. Thank you to the amazing Sensei.

The course was a waste of time as you don’t do anything. The museum is tiny but interesting. I recommend the museum, as a short break from the bustling streets
