Note 60 / Shugakuin / Sakyo

Shape a copper tray

Shape a tactile metal object with an artisan near the northeastern edge of the city.

Why we chose it

A reason
to go.

Choose it for a metal object you make yourself and can pack that day, without the later firing required for pottery.

The experience

What you’ll
do.

  • Make a copper tray with artisan assistance.
  • Materials, borrowed tools and a paulownia box are included.
  • The listing says the finished tray can be taken home that day.

A little context

More to
take in.

A tray will be touched and used as well as looked at. Its shape becomes easier to appreciate when you have taken part in making it.

Our recommendation

Choose the
right experience.

What to choose

The private two-hour copper-tray workshop offered by OKUMURA.

Who it suits

Craft enthusiasts who want a compact metal object and a private session.

When to choose something else

Choose SALUK’s pewter sake cup if you would prefer a drinking vessel and focused time with a pewtersmith.
