Make your own original cup


REPORT

Mori Izumi's works show a variety of expressions
Karuizawa was hit by heavy snowfall on Sunday, March 3th, but the workshop was fully booked.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
Participants painted on the cups under the guidance of Mori Izumi. Mori Izumi took the plain cups that participants had painted and baked them in a toaster, then cooled the hot cups with wet towels that had been cooled in the snow outside, had them paint the cups, and then baked and cooled them again, repeating the process. As a result, about 1 original cups were created in one day.
"Let's drink milk with this" and "Let's drink juice" we heard the participants say, and it made us smile.
While they were waiting, we read them picture books such as "Utako-san" (by Uegaki Ayuko) and "Koppu-chan" (by Nakagawa Hirotaka), which feature cups and other tableware as the main characters.
These original cups are sure to liven up your dining table.



Despite the heavy snowfall, the museum was bustling all day.
I can just picture these cups on the dinner table.
The only Caterpillar Cup in the world.
