Draw, Sew, and Connect: Experience Making Your Original Tote Bag

• WORKSHOP
• FREE

Taka Tomoko is involved with the Miim Project, in which she embroiders the drawings children living in areas affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake make on tote bags before giving the bags back to them. In honor of this project, a special experience will be held in the exhibition hall where visitors can try drawing and embroidering on tote bags themselves. It’s a great way to make a one-of-a-kind tote bag to remember your Go for Kogei experience.
*The number of tote bags is limited so they will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
