I really enjoyed understanding the process from seed to dye and experiencing the work in the vat.
Atelier was perfect, professional, as were the teachers and maestro himself. Introduction to the subject was good and I got also answers to my extra questions. I have dyed before too but I learned new things also. Workshop is perfect also for beginners. Items or materials (scarves) for dyeing were nice. Atmosphere was friendly, helpful and enthusiastic.
Would definitely recommend coming to this workshop for a memorable experience and a handmade souvenir !! Super skilled artisans explaining the process of Indigo dyeing down to the harvesting and fermentation stages. The owner and team were super lovely and welcomed me fully, creating such a great atmosphere and experience. Thank you for the unique experience and for teaching me traditional Japanese craftsmanship!
