Work under the Guidance of an Artisan

Michele_S, Apr 2026

This workshop provided hands-on creativity with an artisan as well as a person who spoke English and facilitated the process. The artisan was supportive, encouraging and provided instruction and guidance throughout the workshop. I recommend having a design ready so the workshop time can be spent on the maki-e process. I enjoyed the process, learning about this craft and creating a finished product. I highly recommend this workshop.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Michele, thank you so much for your kind review, we’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the workshop and we truly appreciate your recommendation. It was a pleasure for us to meet you and learn a bit about Hawaii as well. We hope to welcome you again someday!
