Course Introduction:
This three-hour mini experience is a very intensive experience where you can enjoy both dyeing and making bamboo strips at the same time. However, professional bamboo artists will provide detailed instruction so that anyone can participate and have a fun experience.
1. Weaving the bamboo strips (Enjoy the feel of high-quality Oita bamboo as you weave the bamboo ball)
2. The woven bamboo strips are dyed. We use Japanese eco-dyes (Miyako dyes) that are suitable for the natural material of bamboo. Miyako dyes were founded in 1890 in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. The colors have long been loved by Japanese people and are said to be very Japanese, matching well with the texture of the bamboo.
3. Drying
4. Thread a string to make an accessory.
On the day, you will also be able to watch a demonstration of bamboo crafts by the instructor, a bamboo artist.
