Traveller reviews
really fun and unforgettable experience! the teach spoke english and was very patient and hands on in helping guide us to make sure we would be happy with our results!
Very fun and easy to learn. You learn to cut stencils from sticker paper, and then blast your glass with a sand blowing machine to make the patterns stand out. Went with my daughter and we both had a nice time!
Was such a fun little add on to do on our honeymoon. He walked us through every step and our cups turned out so well!
I really enjoyed creating the glasses, very fun experience overall and wound up with a lovely souvenir!
What a wonderful experience today with Akihiko-san in his glass sandblasting studio. He is a very knowledgeable, kind and patient teacher. He seems to enjoy sharing his craft with people. This was my first time ever with glass crafts and sandblasting, so the activity required a lot of focus on my part during the design stage. But Akihiko-san did an outstanding job guiding us step by step through the process with great instructions. I actually got to do the hands-on sandblasting of the glass after the design stage with the studio equipment. Best of all, it’s a beautiful souvenir which you create, design and make. It’s indeed a unique, creative and rewarding experience in Tokyo which I highly recommend!
This was a fun activity to do while in Tokyo. The instructor was very nice and did a good job explaining each step of the process. After selecting the designs, much of the work is in cutting the patterns so as to leave the sticker behind creating the pattern. After sandblasting the colors are etched away. This part was quick but fun to do. The finished glass looked great and is a cool souvenir. Definitely recommend this class to spend some time doing Japanese art.
Wonderful experience! You are guided through all the steps and don't need any knowledge beforehand. The products turn out very beautiful!
A totally unique expierence. Well worth the time to make an individual momento of the trip
