In our highly industrialized world, many traditional handcrafts are being forgotten. But it is precisely the "imperfection" of a handwriting that gives an object its subtle beauty and uniqueness. Our collective of artisans shares precisely this appreciation for careful, slow craftsmanship created with love.
Atelier Yuniku offers an inspiring environment where it is not just about learning, but also about experiencing creative work together. Each of our teachers brings their own passions and unique style and offers a variety of beautiful handicrafts, from pottery, hand-dyeing techniques, macrame, soap making to making your own cosmetics from medicinal plants and natural raw materials.
