Discover the art of Suminagashi, the Japanese technique of marbling! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs on paper, with options to try on additional surfaces. Perfect for team bonding or creative gatherings—dip, swirl, and take home your own marbled masterpieces!
Our on-site Suminagashi marbling class invites guests to explore the Japanese art of ink marbling with multiple vibrant ink colors. Guided by our skilled instructor, guests will learn to float ink on water and use brushes to create mesmerizing patterns. Each participant will transfer their marbled designs onto high-quality paper and unique wooden slices, adding a beautiful, natural touch to their creations. Fun trivia about the history and origins of Suminagashi will enrich the experience, and we’ll conclude with a photo session to capture everyone’s stunning artwork and the joy of the event.
Each guest’s materials are individually packed into kits for easy setup, and multiple kits will be shipped to the on-site location a few days prior to the event. Our event facilitators will travel to your designated location and will arrive 30 to 60 minutes before the event to set up. We kindly ask for a comfortable arrangement with tables and chairs provided, ensuring ample elbow room at each seat. Table covers are not needed, although recommended. We will also supply individual paper placemats. For events with more than 15 guests, access to mic, a TV with an overhead camera is ideal to ensure all participants have a clear view of the instructor’s demonstrations.
The event requires frequent water disposal and refills. Please provide access to a sink, a pitcher for refilling, and a bin for easy disposal.

Meet Aimee, a Filipina-American entrepreneur, and her multicultural team at Kits by Food Craft.
The company was launched on February 2020 to host social corporate team events. Due to the pandemic, Aimee pivoted the business to DIY kits and eventually hosted virtual events to support remote teams across the world.
As a small and newly launched business, the pandemic was a turning point. But the team adapted, persevered, and as of January 2023, they fulfilled over 20, 000+ kits and hosted 900+ virtual events. This is our pandemic story, and we are grateful for the overwhelming support.
The events and what makes it unique: Inspired by the rich diversity of New York City and her multicultural team, Aimee curated workshops centered on promoting cultural appreciation through food, drink, and craft workshops.
Through sushi rolling, we give you a sneak peek of Japan's culture! The same goes with our Chai making, it's an intro to the land of spice, India.
Hope you can give us a chance to share a unique experience with your friends, family, and team!
Our mission is to create joy and connection through shared experiences.
