JTA Welcomes Ai-san in 2025

Three Days Only

Traditional Japanese Handcrafts, Taught by a Practicing Professional

We are thrilled to welcome back Ai Shimizu to the JTA workshop in September 2025.

Across three days Ai-san will be covering the core techniques encountered in Kintsugi (the art of repairing broken ceramics) and bamboo weaving.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from a trained lacquerware craftsperson and passionate advocate of Japanese handcrafts.
