Guide profile
My name is Mayumi Yokogi, and I run the glass studio Minerva in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture. "Emotion" is to feel and move! The encounter between me and stained glass was a tissue case that I happened to see. Is it possible to make something so close to life! It's been up to today since the day I felt it and moved. In between cooking, in between work, when you're bored, suddenly. I'm suddenly fascinated. For various expressions that change depending on the time of day even in the same space. I suddenly think, "It's beautiful." The stained glass tissue case that I saw for the first time. I would like everyone to enjoy the beauty of colors that cannot be experienced with wood, plastic, or paper, and the charm of transparency of glass.

People who have come to experience or observe the classroom may ask, "I'm clumsy, but is it okay?" I answer, "I'm also very clumsy," but they don't believe me, saying, "That's not true." Crafting requires perseverance. Watching my hands move now is like magic. It is said that I was originally clumsy, and when I started stained glass, I repeated the same thing over and over again. Since I was clumsy and couldn't do many things myself, I think I can help my students when they can't do well! ? We think.

If I had something like this at home, it would be fun ♪ I would be happy ♪ It's a lot of fun to create while imagining such things. It's been about 18 years since I encountered stained glass. Now, kiln work (glass fusing, kneaded glass) and the content of production are also expanding. I would like to create works that can be easily incorporated into daily life.
