About The Event
Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets that embody centuries of craftsmanship and symbolize culture and values. Each wagashi reflects the changing seasons and celebrates nature’s beauty. In this workshop, Toshiko Steffes Sugii shares cultural heritage in a fun and engaging way. Through simple techniques and seasonal themes, participants learn about Japan’s rich traditions while making and tasting wagashi together, paired with Japanese tea. Made from bean paste, these snacks are vegan as well as dairy, nut, and gluten free.
Through the artistry of wagashi, Steffes Sugii aims to capture its essence and infuse it with a spiritual connection to nature. By creating and enjoying wagashi with others, she hopes to deepen the understanding and appreciation for Japanese culture, the seasons, and nature’s beauty. Steffes Sugii creates demonstrations, exhibitions, and workshops and has published a recipe book in the United States and Japan.
Free. All ages. All experience levels. Supplies included. Reservations required by emailing commartsinfo@clevelandart.org.
