※漆注意事項
漆（うるし）は、ウルシオールという成分を含んでおり、ツタウルシ（うるし科の植物）と同様に、液体の状態では皮膚に触れることでアレルギー反応を引き起こす恐れがあります。かぶれや赤み、かゆみなどの症状が出る場合があり、症状は数日後から数か月後に現れることもあります。ただし、完全に硬化した後は飲食に問題なくお使いいただけます。

上記に同意の上、ご参加いただきますようお願いいたします。
作業中は周囲に注意を払い、万が一漆が肌に触れた場合は、すぐに植物由来のオイルでその部分をよくマッサージし、その後、石けんでよく洗い流してください。
また、堤淺吉漆店および講師の森野由佳 が、漆によって生じたいかなる健康被害についても一切の責任を負わないことを承諾し、これに同意します。皮膚保護のため、手袋やワセリンなどの保護用品をご用意いたします。

Workshop Details

Urushi Factory Tour + Kintsugi & Lacquerware Chopsticks Workshop

This special workshop begins with a guided tour of Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi, a heritage Urushi shop established in 1909. Participants will gain an insightful understanding of the origins of Urushi and the Urushi tree, and observe how the sap is carefully refined into black or red Urushi. The tour offers a rare glimpse into each stage of the process and the challenges involved in working with this natural material.

Following the factory tour, participants will learn the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi—the art of restoring broken pottery with Urushi lacquer. Through hands-on instruction, each participant will repair small chips on ceramics, working on two pieces in different stages during the session, and take home their restored piece.

In addition to Kintsugi, participants will explore another layer of traditional craftsmanship: lacquerware chopstick finishing. Each attendee will receive a pair of wooden base chopsticks to transform into beautiful lacquerware during the workshop.

This workshop is a collaboration between Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi and Three Little Spruce, led by Vancouver-based artist Yuka Morino, founder of Three Little Spruce, together with a staff member from Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi. 

Urushi Safety Notice

Urushi contains a natural substance called urushiol, similar to that found in poison ivy. In its liquid state, contact with the skin may cause allergic reactions such as rash, redness, or itching. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop several days—or even months—after exposure. Once fully cured, however, Urushi is completely safe for use with food and drink.

By participating in this workshop, you acknowledge and accept these conditions. Please exercise care while working. If Urushi comes into contact with your skin, immediately massage the affected area thoroughly with a plant-based oil, then wash it well with soap and water.

You also agree that Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi and instructor Yuka Morino will not be held responsible for any health issues that may result from exposure to Urushi.

By registering for this workshop, participants acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to the above Urushi Workshop Participation Consent Form.

About the instructor

Yuka Morino grew up in Kyoto, Japan. Her grandmother played a big role in shaping her appreciation for ceramics by collecting pieces from various artists. When one of her grandmother’s prized collections broke, Morino discovered the art of Kintsugi and started mending broken pottery while studying at Kyoto University of the Arts. Morino now lives on Quadra Island in BC and offers repair services for ceramics and pottery through her company Three Little Spruce.
