Kishu
Lacquerware Tray Workshop

Part of Wagu-Michi, Wagumi London's 15th-anniversary series, this one-hour workshop is held within a showcase of Kishu Shikki, the lacquerware tradition of Wakayama. A certified Master Craftsperson from Japan demonstrates lacquer craft on site during the four-day showcase, where a curated selection from the Atelier Densan collection is displayed and sold. In the workshop, participants brush traditional lacquer onto a half-moon-shaped Kishu hinoki wood tray, add metal powder to the design in a process similar to kintsugi, and take the finished tray home. Materials and instruction are included. Adult places cost £48; children aged 7–12 cost £39.
