The charm of the 2019 "glass craft experience"
There are many attractive glass products and glass crafts with unique beauty, such as wind chimes, which are a summer tradition, and tableware such as glasses and plates that are familiar to us in our daily lives. Some people may have a healing experience with the transparency unique to glass and the way it shines, which changes depending on the nature and angle of light. Many people are fascinated by the colorful brilliance and delicacy, and there are glass workshops and museums of glass artists all over Japan.
"Manufacturing" and "handmade" are attracting attention again these days because of the progress of digitalization. It seems that the burner work that allows you to create "Tonbotama", a traditional Japanese craft, is also held every year as a "Tombodama experience class" all over the country.
The experience course recommended in this article is a plan for a wide range of age groups from young people to adults to make their own glass products. It's an activity that hasn't diminished in popularity because it's fun to be able to create "the only glass work in the world" with your own hands.

It is a plan to create a "single-wheel insert" that only people who can speak Japanese can participate. Even in Kyoto, which is full of tourists from overseas, you can concentrate calmly because you can only speak Japanese.
A straw-sized blowing rod is used to blow air into a block of glass little by little to form a circle. The glass that melts into muddy like a small starch syrup changes every time you inject air, so it changes every second. It's a blown glass experience that you can't do anywhere else, but don't worry, even beginners can easily make it. You can choose your favorite color from blue, green, and plan red, so let's make your own unique one-wheeled insert.

If you are thinking that it would be difficult to make craftsmanship, the sandblasting technique is recommended. It is a technique for making glass products safely, quickly, and with few mistakes. The surface of the already molded glassware is cut and sand is sprayed to engrave it. You can express your own original patterns and letters on the glass.
The appeal of this plan is the freedom to choose your favorite from 10 types of glasses. First of all, you are free to choose glasses such as wine glasses, champagne glasses, rock glasses, tumblers and beer glasses. Then, engrave a wide variety of designs, more than 100, to create a Swarovski and elegant finish. It's a fashionable classroom based on white, so it's perfect for dates and girls-only gatherings ♪ Let's experience sandblasting in the center of Osaka, Namba!
Finally
What did you think. It is standard to go to sightseeing spots to take pictures and enjoy gourmet food. However, "creating your own work" in that area will be a rare experience. And that experience will surely be an irreplaceable and original memory.
Glass products that make you feel cool in the summer are perfect as souvenirs for your trip. If you talk about your journey while using your own glasses and vessels, you will be impressed. When you go to the Kansai region this summer, let's make original memories at the glass studio!
