By popular demand since their April debut, “arteastic” afternoons featuring hands-on craft workshops, followed by an elaborate floral-themed tea set, will be presented once again at The Lounge at New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel on 26 and 31 May and 9 June 2019. Offered in collaboration with K11 Kulture Academy, the upcoming workshops will feature tsumami zaiku, a traditional Japanese handicraft with origins in the Edo period. The idea echoes K11 Art Matsuri art exhibition (aka Japanese festival) in June.
In tsumami zaiku, small, square-cut pieces of chirimen (Japanese fabric) are pinched and folded with tweezers into hair accessories. Under the guidance of Kay Koo, a certified teacher from the Japan Tsumami Zaiku Association, guests will learn about the origin and the technique of this classic skill, and make their own hair accessory with no needles or thread required.
Details of the Tsumami Zaiku Floral Hair Accessories Workshops are as follows:
