Fun activity for any age - This was so much fun. You got to choose what you wanted to dye - t-shirt, bag, noren, hanging. Then came the fun of deciding what picture to trace. There are many different designs and sizes of designs to choose from. You do a practice piece then start on your own design. You get instructions and help as you need it. I'd do it again. (For some reason, I was unable to upload photos of my t-shirt.)

A great place to visit - A wonderful place to visit, friendly and helpful people and a amazing displays of Shibori and lots for sale. I ended up with a beautiful silk scarf, even though I wasn't expecting to be able to do a class as we were just walking in on off the street. They also showed us a very informative video. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours with a gorgeous souvenir as well. Definitely recommend a visit. It's small but packed with interesting displays & products. Easy to get to on the Subway/ Metro, we were staying near Kyoto station.

Great experience! - We learned how to make a particular style of shibori and were completely engaged in the process from beginning to end. The results were way beyond expectations. The instructor spoke English. Thank you Nina and the Shibori Museum.
