Stylish cafes and movies are great, but the experience of creating something together through creative activities is an opportunity to develop a deep and lasting bond.
The hands-on workshops not only allow participants to share new discoveries and enjoyment that they would not normally feel, but also allow them to take home original works of art to keep their memories in shape.
In this issue, we will introduce stores with a great atmosphere where you can enjoy workshops in the Kanto area.
1. Candle Making Experience(Omotesando・pieni takka)
pieni takka is a Scandinavian-style candle store and workshop space located in Omotesando, Tokyo.
The name of the restaurant, which means "small fireplace" in Finnish, symbolizes the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant.
Pienitakka features handmade candles, whose designs and scents are simple and natural Scandinavian.
The restaurant's warm and relaxing brick and green interior makes it a place where you can spend a relaxing time and feel relaxed just by visiting.
One of the unique features of Pienitacca is the opportunity to experience a candle-making workshop.
In the workshops, visitors can make gel candles and aroma candles to their own liking, and even first-timers can enjoy them under careful guidance.
Since you can design your own original candles by freely combining colors, shapes, and scents, it would be wonderful to make candles of each other's choice and exchange them.
The finished candles are perfect for relaxing at home and serve as a stylish interior decoration.
This is a spot where you can make handmade candles to commemorate a date or a special occasion, and afterwards enjoy cafes and shopping in the Omotesando area, creating a memorable experience throughout the day.
2. Glass blowing experience（Hakone Glass Forest Museum, Kanagawa）
The Hakone Glass Forest Museum, located in Hakone Town, Kanagawa Prefecture, is an art museum that exhibits mainly Venetian glass, and a popular activity is "glassblowing," where visitors can actually experience the fascination of glass.
In the glassblowing experience, visitors experience the process of blowing and shaping glass by themselves using special equipment.Visitors can try their hand at the technique of making glasses and small objects by expanding glass melted at high temperatures with a rod called a blowpipe under the guidance of craftspeople.
Since colors and shapes can be selected, it is possible to create a one-of-a-kind original work of art.The experience takes about 30 minutes, and although you may not be able to take home your creation on the spot, it will be delivered to your home at a later date.
The attraction of the glassblowing experience is the joy of making things by hand and the surprise at the moment the glass changes shape before your eyes.The work changes depending on the amount of force used to inflate the glass and the change in temperature, so you need to deal with the material intuitively.
In addition, the museum itself is surrounded by lush natural gardens and beautiful glass works, making it a relaxing and artistic experience.
3.Leather Craft Experience(Kawagoe・Restive Horse Ground)
Kawagoe is a popular tourist destination with beautiful old streets, and there are also workshops where visitors can experience leather craft.
Restive Horse Ground is a leather item production studio in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, and a popular spot for leather classes.The studio offers a variety of leather crafting experiences and a wide range of workshops for both beginners and experienced craftspeople.
In this leather class, you can make your own small leather goods and accessories.
The experience allows couples to create practical items such as key cases, coin cases, bracelets, and wallets.
First, students choose the type and color of leather, cut out the leather using a pattern, punch holes and sew it together, and learn basic skills as they proceed with the creation process.Expert staff will carefully guide you through the process, so even beginners can tackle it with ease.
The appeal of leather craft is the freedom to customize the texture, color, and design of the material.Since the items you create can be used for a long time, they will remain as a special memory as well as being practical.
In addition, the leather can be engraved or dyed to create more original pieces.The warm atmosphere of the workshop is perfect for sharing creative moments while relaxing and enjoying your creations.
By visiting in conjunction with sightseeing in Kawagoe, you can enjoy the craft experience along with the historic townscape and have a special day.
summary
The beauty of making things is not only to spend time together, but also to experience the joy of creating with friends.
By creating something together, we can learn about each other's creative side, and conversations naturally become more lively.
The completed work will remain with you as a special memory of the day, and you can enjoy the aftermath of your trip by looking back on it later.
On your next trip, why not try a "manufacturing experience" with your friends, family, or loved ones to share a new experience and create a special memory.
