More like a demonstration than a hands on experience

Reviewed by: Aisling, 2019/04/12

Husband and I did the chinkin class and the gold leaf stamping class at kyoto artisan workshop and we have to say that we enjoyed the chinkin class better as it was more hands on. For the gold leaf stamping class, we did the cutting of the template but the actual gold leaf application was done by the teacher (our teacher that day was Mr Fuji). This is probably due to the fact that gold leaf wrinkles at the slightest touch and it was probably too difficult for beginners to handle. A tip for those choosing this class - choose a design that is not too fine for a better effect. I chose a crane design and the long thin legs of the crane did not stick well.
