About this Event
Discover the beauty of traditional Japanese sweets in this hands-on Nerikiri workshop. Wagashi are delicate confections that reflect the changing seasons of Japan and are traditionally served during Japanese tea ceremonies.
In this workshop, you will learn how to shape and color Nerikiri, one of the most artistic forms of Wagashi, while experiencing the seasonal aesthetics of Japanese culture.
As this workshop takes place in April, we will celebrate spring by creating cherry blossom–inspired Nerikiri. Participants will make two spring designs inspired by cherry blossoms (four sweets in total) and experience the joy of crafting these beautiful edible works of art.
This workshop is beginner-friendly, and no prior experience is required. All tools and materials will be provided, and you will receive a container and paper bag to take your handmade sweets home. Just come and enjoy a relaxing and creative cultural experience.
Join us to explore the art of Wagashi and celebrate the beauty of spring through this unique hands-on experience.
