Learn the techniques of making and decorating your own Nerikiri sweets with a hands-on workshop led by Japanese confectionary artist Ryoko.
Nerikiri is a traditional Japanese sweet that is highly decorative, often representing the beauty of the four seasons. Kneaded from mix of sweet bean paste, glutinous rice flour, and natural food colouring, they are traditionally served at Japanese tea ceremonies.
There is no need for any prior experience. During this small-group workshop, Ryoko will first demonstrate how to make two types of Nerikiri and you will then get the chance to try shaping your own Nerikiri sweet to take home. In this session, we will be celebrating the coming of spring through shaping the Nerikiri into a Sakura – a cherry blossom!
Following the event, you will have a chance to explore the Museum and enjoy our current exhibitions while we are closed to the wider public.
