Enjoy authentic metal forging!
Using nickel silver or silver (Silver 950) materials, you can experience the same processes as a professional craftsman, from 'forging' by hammering to 'brazing' using fire. Experience the sense of accomplishment and joy that wells up the moment you finish processing precious metal yourself. This time spent touching the depths of craftsmanship will surely be a wonderful experience that enriches your life. Please enjoy this special experience to calm your mind and body during your Kumano pilgrimage. Any slight distortion or scratches are memories of your unique journey and a one-of-a-kind charm unique to handmade items. The time spent silently concentrating on detailed work should be surprisingly calming.
Beginner-friendly with 'full' support.
Since it is a small group, you can proceed at your own pace without worrying about those around you. We will always support you while lecturing on how to use tools and safe work practices. Even if you are worried because you are clumsy or afraid of failure, please rest assured. A craftsman will always be by your side to support you, and if you make a mistake, we will fix it beautifully. We welcome a style where you only enjoy the tasks you want to try, as the craftsman will take over for tasks that require courage or are difficult! The work environment uses the same desk and tools that the craftsman has used to make silver jewelry for many years, so safety is also taken into consideration.
