Experience Your Devotion through Art at Yokumoku Museum

On March 1, 2026, Yokumoku Museum in Minato, Tokyo, is hosting an extraordinary workshop titled "Picasso de Art." This event aims to explore the theme of devotion through hands-on creativity, allowing participants to express their personal meanings of love, memories, and cherished items using clay. This workshop is part of the museum's ongoing commitment to nurturing creativity and artistic appreciation among its visitors.

Inspiration from Great Masters

The workshop coincides with the upcoming exhibition "Ceramics of Picasso, Miró, and Barceló: A Love for Catalonia," which opens on February 10, 2026. Participants will get the chance to appreciate the deep connections these three renowned Spanish artists—Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Miquel Barceló—had with Catalonia, enriching the experience of creating art inspired by their legacies.

The workshop begins with an insightful guided tour led by an experienced curator, who will share the fascinating stories behind the ceramic works of these great artists. Participants will be immersed in the profound relationships these creatives had with both their art and the Catalonian landscape.

Creating Your Own Masterpiece

Following the exhibition tour, participants will engage in a creative session where they will embody their own sense of devotion. Using clay as their medium, they will craft representations of what matters most to them. This can encompass a wide range of subjects, including objects, people, memories, or even feelings. In the spirit of collaboration and exploration without boundaries, participants are encouraged to also incorporate natural materials into their artwork, mirroring the innovative approaches taken by Picasso, Miró, and Barceló.

This immersive program not only promises a genuine artistic experience but also serves as a powerful reminder to reflect on the things we value in our daily lives. It is an opportunity to reconnect with what we hold dear through creativity and art.
