Workshops mit Künstlern u.a. aus Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, Gifu, Miyazaki, Kagoshima & Berlin

🇯🇵 Hands-On Japanese Crafts

For one day, the Manifesto Market at Potsdamer Platz turns into a workshop. Twelve master artisans, twelve techniques, and you’re right in the middle of it all. ✨

👐 In groups of four to five, you’ll work right at the master’s table: she’ll demonstrate the technique, you’ll try it out, and she’ll correct you. Some have traveled all the way from Japan for this, while others run their workshops right here in Berlin. Whatever you create, you’ll take it home with you. 🎁

👀 Not in the mood to hold a tool? That’s fine, too. Wander around between workshops, watch the artisans at work, ask questions, try out the pieces, and then just stick around at the market afterward. The launch is intentionally timed for the Festival of Lights, when Berlin is already out and about. 💡

📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
📍 Manifesto Market Berlin, Potsdamer Platz
🎟️ Free admission. Workshops have limited spots; register at 👉https://craftkai.com/workshops
