In this workshop, you will use authentic Arita porcelain beads to create your own accessories. Choose two items from a necklace, strap, keychain, or ear pick, and craft your original designs. You will select the porcelain beads and attach the metal fittings with guidance from an instructor. You can finish your pieces as earrings, clip-on earrings, a necklace, or in your preferred style. Completed items can be taken home the same day.
The time spent crafting by hand offers a special opportunity to connect with Japanese traditional culture. Combining over 400 years of Arita porcelain heritage with your own creativity, this experience will become a memorable highlight of your trip.
