Collaborators: Tanpopo-no-ye / Good Job! Center KASHIBA
For half a century, Tanpopo-no-ye has been working to create a place for people with disabilities to live and a new community to support each other from the perspectives of "art" and "care". GJ! Center Kashiba opened in 2016 with the concept of art, design, and business. The center is also working on NEW TRADITIONAL a job creation project with people with disabilities that applies traditional crafts to today's lifestyles. In this workshop, we will hold some workshops where you can experience the joy of making things with a variety of people. In addition to communicating the activities of Tanpopo-no-ye to the world, we will foster a place where people can work together with a diverse range of people to create handicrafts while having fun.
Tapping, grinding, and creating wood work, a project designed to familiarize visitors with wood without the need for specialized knowledge or tools. By selecting a stone as a tool and a piece of wood as a material, tapping it by hand, and combining the tanning process called Uzukuri, irregular patterns and luster are created. This time, visitors will enjoy the sound of the tapping as they create patterns on the wood together with the visitors.
Silk-screen printing, a collaborative project LIVE WORKS by the art unit BOB ho-ho and GJ! Center Kashiba. Using a variety of colors and many small plates, everyone prints and enjoys themselves together. We make T-shirts, socks, and other items with the idea of putting the LIVE feeling that is created on the spot to work. This time, visitors will print on large cloths, including a special edition made on the theme of "architecture to be loved," and the final prints will be exhibited at the venue.
