Good to learn the history, different techniques. The info video was helpful along with staff providing information.

The whole family enjoyed this class.

Virginia_J, Feb 2024

We had a wonderful time at this class. It was so much fun learning about and creating our shibori. We had so many professional Shibori makers all around us and they were so happy and excited to help us learn. We also got to tour the museum which is full of absolutely amazing art pieces. It's such an intricate and unique way to decorate fabric it's awe-inspiring to see the works in the museum. My entire family enjoyed this activity. I would do this class everyday if I could. We highly recommend this class.

What a wonderful way to spend a hot afternoon in Kyoto! Roy was careful in his teaching, helped me learn the process while supporting understanding it as well. Got a terrific piece of wrapped shibori out of it as well.

Excelente clase de teñido Shibori. Muy entretenida, era justo lo que necesitaba para completar un excelente paso por Japón. Kioto es una ciudad para adentrarse en el arte. las explicaciones, meter las manos en la masa y señor la tela para luego ver el resultado final fue muy rico.Necesitaba hacer algo de arte con mis manos y esta fue la clase perfecta.
