Kyoto Resin Art Experience

Kyoto Resin Art Experience

Collect tiny pieces of Kyoto, seal them in clear resin, and finish with matcha & wagashi.

Morning & afternoon sessions available. All materials provided.

Overview

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll stroll through the Gion neighborhood to collect small, beautiful items inspired by Kyoto—then return to the studio to
encase them in crystal-clear resin as your one-of-a-kind keepsake. After crafting, relax with a simple matcha experience and a seasonal Japanese sweet (wagashi).

Instruction is in English. All tools and materials are prepared, so you can come empty-handed and enjoy.
