Overview

This workshop is led by Master Nakagawa, the owner of the atelier, offering guests a rare opportunity to learn directly from a professional glass artist rather than an assistant or facilitator.

Unlike typical craft experiences, participants use a professional sandblasting machine and work through the full creative process—from design to finishing—within a compact 90-minute session. With a wide selection of traditional Japanese motifs and hands-on guidance throughout, even beginners can create a refined, high-quality glass artwork.

The small-group setting ensures personal attention, while the finished piece serves as a functional, authentic souvenir that reflects both Japanese aesthetics and the participant’s own design.
