This workshop involves handling Japanese urushi lacquer. Its urushiol content in liquid state is known to cause allergic skin reactions on direct skin contact. Please read and understand this material before deciding to participate. Taketombo (dba Goenne.com) shall not be liable for any allergic condition caused by handling Japanese lacquer.
You agree to wear protective gear (long sleeves, gloves, apron, and/or face mask) during the workshop. You agree to sign a liability release prior to all workshop activities. If at any point you are uncomfortable handling urushi, please let us know — you may watch at a comfortable distance and skip hands-on activities.
Tools used may include sharp objects or knives. Use common sense; any medical condition or injury is your responsibility. We strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance before departure.
All cancellation requests must be made by email to hello@goenne.com.
