What is Tsumami-zaiku:
Tsumami-Zaiku" is a traditional Japanese craftwork that is still used from 200 years ago. Designated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
They are made by pinching small, square-cut pieces of cloth, turning them into a lot of seasonal beautiful designs. (Such as flowers, birds ,and more.)
For this lesson we will be making flower using traditional starch glue and crepe fabric.

After meeting at Shinjuku station, we will move to the venue together.
- Choose the type "2 way clip" or "magnet".
- Next, choose a color from about 40 different fabrics to make petals and leaves.
- Soak the cloth in glue and shape it.
- Select the center parts and put on it.
I will teach you how to make it carefully, so there is no need to worry.
Clumsy people and children can also challenge. Make everything in your favorite colors and enjoy.

Very good experience making your own jewellery using the traditional Japanese Tsumami-Zaiku method. The sensei was very polite and patient and helped us with the design and gave step by step tips on how to make the jewellery. Enjoyable and creative experience

Alisa’s class was great! She made it fun and easy to understand for all skill levels. We really enjoyed the experience and the final product (which we completed in about a hour) makes a great souvenir. Definitely recommend!

We had a great time making the fabric flowers. We picked the fabric colors and backing (magnet or pin/clip). We have some experience with origami, but it was a bit challenging to fold fabric with tweezers. The class was scheduled for 2 hours, but it took us about one hour. We had a lot of fun, and our pins came out great! Thank you for offering this class! がんばってね！

It was a delicate Japanese craft, and I really enjoyed it. I focused on assembling cute petals one by one and made it a souvenir for my mother.
Alisa was very patient and her explanations were easy to understand. She was an experience that I could not have in my country, and it was more satisfying than I expected.
I highly recommend her!!
