Yuki Tessler
Japanese cultural workshop presenter
Meet Yuki Tessler,
I am offering Kintsugi and Maki-e workshops in Amsterdam, Delft, Groningen, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and France. Born in Saitama, Japan, I embarked on a diverse journey, spending a decade as a stage lighting designer in Tokyo during my twenties. In my thirties, I moved to Australia, where I developed a passion for pathology and worked for seven years in anatomical pathology.
In 2019, my family’s move to the Netherlands ignited my love for European architecture and culture, enriching my appreciation for Japan’s traditional heritage and techniques.
Today, I’m your guide to discovering Kintsugi and Maki-e art in enchanting cities. Additionally, I specialize in facilitating team-building and self-growth activities for universities, companies, and Japan-related events. Join me on this artistic and cultural journey.
日本の埼玉大宮市で生まれ、２０代は東京でフリーランスの舞台照明家として１０年間エンターテイメント業界で働く。３０代からオーストラリアへ移住、病理学の勉強に目覚めて資格取得後オーストラリアの病院附属解剖病理学ラボで７年間勤務。自然豊かオーストラリアで快適な生活をしていたもののヨーロッパの建築、街並み、文化にあこがれ家族で２０１９年からオランダへ移住。ヨーロッパの歴史や文化に触発され、また長期の海外生活もあり日本の伝統文化の深み、精神性に強く共感する。現在はオランダ各都市、またフランスで金継ぎや蒔絵のワークショップを提供しています。
