About this activity
Itinerary
In this experience, at a professional glass craft educational facility where also glass artists and teachers practice, you can learn directly from experienced lectures. One of the charms of this experience is that you can freely enjoy a professional glass craft experience. If 7 years or older, children can also join the experience and in a short time span of only 60 minutes you can make your glass, so you can join even if you don't have much time.
Faceted Edo glass, which is designated as a traditional craft by the Japanese government, uses a technique of applying a geometrical pattern on the surface of the glass. With a grinder only used for this type of glass, with diamonds embedded in the cutting edge, the surface of the plate is cut.This cutting process is important to make the finished faceted Edo glass shine.
Next, let's apply the pattern. You can make something simple but it is also alright to make an extravagant pattern. You can take the finished item home with you. Please bring the faceted Edo glass item, a traditional craft that was born in Tokyo, home with you as a souvenir. When you look at it again, you will definitely be reminded of your trip in Japan right?

• Tokyo Glass Art Institute, 1-26-13 Higashirokugo, Ota 144-0046 Tokyo Prefecture
