We offer hands-on courses for those who wish to experience the craft of dyeing and deepen their technical skills. These dyeing experiences offer a rare opportunity to enter the workspace, usually off limits to the public, and learn traditional dyeing techniques from color mixing, to making stencils, to applying dyes under the direct guidance of our dyeing artisans. Immerse yourself in the world of traditional dyeing and create your own dyed works of art.
Book your experience online. After the hands-on workshop, our artisans will finish and sew your creation, delivering the piece to your doorstep.
Make your own maekake (Japanese apron) and tote bag in this half-day dyeing experience. Choose from several of our original patterns, mix your color of choice, and dye the front of the fabric with tenasen technique and the back with hikizome technique. Nagakan artisans will sew the dyed fabric into your Japanese apron and tote bag.
