All new to HotaruCon 2 you can now sign up to specialist workshops for an additional fee. Please note these workshops are only available to HotaruCon attendees. This year we have:
Tsumami-zaiku Workshop
Founded in 2015 by a London based craftmaker. Hanamizuki creates "Tsumami-zaiku", which is the Japanese traditional craftwork used in “Kanzashi” or “Geisha Kanzashi” Japanese hair sticks. "Tsumami" means “pinch”. It is made by pinching and folding tiny square cloth with tweezers like an origami paper. Kyoko creates Tsumami-zaiku Kanzashi with only high quality materials from Japan and UK.
Hanamizuki’s unique pieces are not only for Japanese traditional fashion on special occasions but also for casual daily use.
In this workshop, you will learn how to make butterfly using the Tsumami-zaiku technic to create a hair clip & brooch accessory. It can be used in dual ways!
