Make your trip to Fukui more fun by trying glass blowing. In this taiken, you will make glass art by yourself, and the professional staff will help you create your piece of artwork. The professional artisans will teach you how to use the tools or materials and demonstrate the methods. You can make glass art in the atelier, which is Kanazu Forest of Creation, a very scenic setting. Glass art is flourishing in Japan, and there are many glass art studios around Japan, such as Edo Kiriko in Tokyo and Ryukyu glass in Okinawa. Glass blowing is the oldest method of making glass. The taiken process begins by attaching molten glass to a long bar called Fukizao (blow pipe), and then blowing the glass from the opposite side of the bar, and then finally tinting the glass any color you like. Next, you attach it to another long stick and shape the glass, and then your work is complete. It is a little bit difficult to make a perfect shape the first time, but even if the shape is a little twisted and distorted, it will be your own personal artwork.
