CRAFT AND CAFEとは
日本の伝統文化である茶器は、茶の湯で使われる器を指しており、抹茶を入れる容器や茶道具の一種で古来よりさまざまな種類や形、製法があります。
茶器は抹茶やお茶をいれる容器であり、濃いお茶を入れる時に用いるものを濃茶器と呼びます。薄いお茶を入れる時に用いる茶器は薄茶器と呼ばれます。
クラフトアンドカフェは、ワークショップの体験者が想像力と感性で体験するアートのワークショップになっております。ワークショップの体験者は、アーティストとして自分の手で世界に一つだけのオリジナル茶器をつくり、さらにその茶器でお茶とお菓子をゆっくりと楽しめるプランとなっております。
What is CRAFT AND CAFE?
Tea utensils, a traditional Japanese culture, refer to
the utensils used in tea ceremonies, and are containers for storing matcha and a type of tea utensils that have existed in various types, shapes, and manufacturing methods since ancient times.
A tea utensil is a container for brewing matcha or tea, and the one used to brew strong tea is called a koicha utensil.The tea utensils used to brew weak tea are called usucha
utensils.In modern times, ceramic tea holders are used for strong
tea ware, and jujube is often used for light tea ware.
Craft and Cafe is an art workshop where participants can experience it using their imagination and sensitivity. Participants of the
workshop will be able to create a one-of-a-kind original tea utensil with their own hands as an artist, and then enjoy leisurely enjoying tea and sweets with that tea utensil.
CRAFT AND CAFEの江戸塗りとは
試行錯誤を重ねて生み出した【江戸塗り】がクラフトアンドカフェの特徴です。ただの陶芸やワークショプではなく、江戸塗りの特徴として、選べる茶器のデザインに加えて、20種類以上の塗料を練り合わせて、重ね塗り、削り、模様、磨き、仕上げをしていく、アーティストのセンスを極限まで高めながら茶器をつくる技法です。
バックボーンには、約260年にわたる江戸＝東京で培われた伝統工芸【江戸塗り】を、さらに多様な色彩で彩ることに初めて成功をしました。さらに【江戸塗り】には、茶器に、重ね塗り、削り、模様、磨き、仕上げが伝統文化のみならず、現代アートの技法も取り入れており、日本の伝統工芸品の流れを汲むだけでなく、江戸らしさと江戸風景が一つの茶器に集積した作品と昇華させていきます。
How about "Edo Lacquerware"?
Craft and Cafe is characterized by its [Edo-nuri], which was created through repeated trial and error. More than just a pottery or workshop, Edo-nuri is characterized by the artist's sense that in addition to the tea utensil designs you can choose from, the artist's sense of kneading over 20 types of paint, layering, scraping, patterns, polishing, and finishing. This is a technique for making tea utensils while maximizing the quality. The backbone is the traditional craft [Edo lacquerware] cultivated in Edo = Tokyo for about 260 years, and for the first time we succeeded in coloring it with even more diverse colors. In addition, [Edo-nuri] incorporates not only traditional culture but also modern art techniques in the layering, shaving, patterning, polishing, and finishing of tea utensils, and it not only follows the flow of traditional Japanese crafts, but also incorporates modern art techniques. We will sublimate the work as a collection of Edo-style and Edo scenery in one tea utensil.
