Summary: This was an exceptional experience! For anyone who is crafty, this is the experience for you. Ms Akiko-san was a fantastic tutor. She expertly guided me through how to make the spoon, and she really encouraged me to be as creative as possible to decorate it. I really appreciated her attention to detail, her willingness to really guide me on what to do and how to do it, and help to ensure I had a stunning piece of art as the outcome. I highly recommend this rare way to personally explore some of the expert craft (wo)manship!
