What to expect

You'll arrive at the workshop and meet your instructor, who'll walk you through the Tankin process—a traditional Japanese metalworking method. After selecting your preferred material and aesthetic (thickness, finish), you'll use hand tools to hammer and form the bangle into shape. The instructor guides each step without taking over, leaving the crafting to you. Expect some physical effort and focused concentration; it's meditative rather than strenuous. By the end, you'll have a completed, wearable bangle ready to box up and take with you.
