Cement Produce Design presents "Beyond the Meeting of Design and Craftsmanship."
As part of Machi Decor, Cement Produce Design will host the workshop "Beyond the Meeting of Design and Craftsmanship" from October 7 (Sat) to 9 (Mon, holiday).
Machi Decor is a design event held at interior, building material, and home furnishing shops and showrooms located in the Midosuji area and surrounding districts of Osaka.
This year, the second floor of the Osaka office will serve as the venue, featuring daily workshops led by Kyoto ceramic artisans. Activities include painting and hand-shaping pottery wheel experiences, suitable for a wide range of ages from elementary school students to adults (first-come, first-served, no reservations required).
On the 9th, there will be a live demonstration and consultation session by a Kintsugi artisan. If you have a favorite piece of tableware that's chipped or cracked but you still want to use, bring it along and consult with the Kintsugi master.
In addition to workshops, a flea market will be held, showcasing tableware by Kyoto ceramic artisans and sample products from CEMENT. It's worth a visit to discover some hidden gems.
【First 30 visitors each day will receive a CEMENT product!】
