Do you know a place called "Makers' Base"?
It's a membership-based workshop located at Toritsu-Daigaku Station in Tokyo and at the Chiba Sogo Jenne building in Chiba. They hold workshops where you can experience making things, and anyone can participate! *
You can choose your favorite item from a list available on their website or Instagram, and all you have to do is sign up and show up on the day! ♡
The workshop is equipped with over 100 different special machines and tools, allowing you to create and take home various cute and stylish items! *
Going there with a partner or children for a date or leisure activity would definitely be fun.
I would like to highlight some items that caught my interest, thinking, "I want to try making this! This looks fun! Plus, it's useful!" ♩
Things I Want to Make at Makers' Base ♡
Cloisonné earrings. The price, including materials, is 4,000 yen!
An original skirt that you can create in your favorite pattern. You can even use hand-drawn designs or photos as patterns.
You can also create a coin purse with your favorite patterns or custom data.
Isn't it amazing that you can make a coin purse featuring your pet dog's or cat's face, or even your child's face?
A floral hand mirror made with pressed flowers and stained glass for touching up your makeup ♩
If your cherished plate or dish breaks, you can also learn "kintsugi" (the art of repairing pottery with gold) here! *
Rather than saying goodbye when something breaks, you can add a different charm by repairing it with kintsugi and continue to use it for a long time.... Isn't that wonderful? ♡
I thought to bring my favorite plate here for kintsugi if it ever breaks....
You can make wooden chopsticks too ♩ They would also make a great gift for parents! ♡
You can choose the wood yourself, picking it up, experiencing its aroma, and selecting the color and pattern. It seems you can carve the wood with a plane to shape it into chopsticks, which sounds incredibly fun—I'd love to try it!
(Plus, wooden chopsticks don't slip easily, right?....!)
A masu cup made from joinery wood. *
A spoon made by hammering tin...
A wristwatch made from your favorite materials. *
An original barrette crafted in your chosen material and shape! ♡
Making pearl accessories from real Akoya oysters, starting with extracting the pearls. *
Crafting a cutting board that can be made in your favorite shape and can also have text engraved on it. *
I Want to Go There with My Husband ♡
In addition, there are workshops for making lampshades, rings, bags, and more.
It seems like a lot of fun to create things at Makers' Base, and you can make stylish finished products.
(I thought I'd like to fill my home with things made at Makers' Base! ♡)
Chopsticks, masu cups, and cutting boards would also be great gifts for parents! *
