What's on
From family support, fitness classes and learning to art exhibitions, festivals and talks, our activities are wide and far reaching.
To kick off Wagu-Michi, a series of events marking its 15th year, wagumi presents a showcase of Kishu lacquerware with Atelier Densan. Kumiko Tanioka, one of Japan’s officially certified Master Craftspeople, demonstrates her craft throughout, with a curated selection of lacquerware on display and for sale.
Visitors can watch her work and talk to her directly, for free, or book a workshop to decorate their own Kishu hinoki tray.
Alongside, wagumi presents Japanese makers including Annaj, wakokoro, Inaniwa Koraido and Nishii Mokko, with free tastings of matcha and udon, and patisserie from Kichiya.
Workshops
Each workshop lasts one hour, with a maximum of eight people per session. They take place at OXO Gallery, on the floor below wagumi:
Thu 26 & Fri 27 Nov: 11:00–12:00, 17:00–18:00
Sat 28 & Sun 29 Nov: 11:00–12:00, 14:00–15:00, 16:30–17:30
Tickets are £48 for adults, including materials and instructions, and £39 for children aged 7–12. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and any adult who wants to make their own tray needs their own ticket. The workshop uses materials such as acetone; gloves and aprons are provided, and attendees are advised to wear suitable clothing.
