▲Notice▲
・We use real Japanese lacquer (Urushi) and pure gold in order to get the authentic experience.
・In some cases, it is possible to develop a rash if the lacquer comes in direct contact with your skin. We provide groves and guidance for properly handling the lacquer. (Please read below “Why can Urushi cause a rash?” )
・If the lacquer gets on your clothes, it cannot be removed. It does not come out even if you wash it.

▲General disclaimer▲

・We will store the ceramics for the duration of the class, but are not be liable in case of a theft, fire, or other emergency on the premise.
・No refunds except when lessons cannot be held.



“Why can Urushi cause a rash?”
Urushi (Japanese lacquer) comes from a plant that is related to the poison ivy. Urushi, in its liquid from, can cause an allergic rash and dermatitis when it comes in direct contact with your skin. Fully dried Urushi cannot cause a rash. The rash normally appears 24 hours after contact and clears up within 2 weeks. Symptoms include itching and blistering. The duration of the rash and severity depends on the person’s level of immunity. Do not scratch the rash in order to prevent any scarring. Because Urushi in not commonly used in the United States, we do not suggest using any creams or medicines to treat the Urushi rash as long as the rash area is controlled and does not significantly worsen. Using medicines may cause further discomfort or exacerbate the rash.
