This September JTA welcomes back Ai Shimizu, a Kyoto-based Kintsugi practitioner and artisan who has exhibited her work in Japan and internationally, as well as teaching throughout Japan and France. 

Ai is an active member of the Miyama Bamboo Club, which aims to teach and preserve the traditional bamboo weaving techniques that have been practiced in the thatched town of Miyama for centuries.

Under the gentle guidance of Ai san, delve into the traditional Japanese craft of bamboo weaving (takeami). In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of working with the material and get a taste for the different ways it can be woven to create strong, light and useful forms.

Each 2.5 hr workshop will be held at the JTA Showroom, with all materials and light refreshment included.
