Between Tiles and Steam: Art & Play
Join our next workshop & catch the final weeks of Yu-Asobi exhibition
Upcoming Workshop
Sento are weird spaces. They skip the usual flow of interaction—no introductions, no small talk—just quiet, shared presence. Strangers undress, soak, and sit together in warmth and silence.
In our upcoming Tile by Tile workshop, we’ll explore that same quiet connection—through tiles.
Instead of painting tiles individually, we’ll paint in sequence. Each person continues or responds to what the previous person created, building a shared mural together.
Date: Saturday, July 13 · Time: 17:00 · Location: Magpie Cafe
You can register or read more about the workshop on our Meetup page.
You can choose to take your tiles home, or leave them for a group show at the gallery.
Yu-Asobi Exhibition—Now Open
In case you missed it—Yu-Asobi is now on view at Jinny Street Gallery until July 18.
The exhibition gathers 33 artists from Japan and abroad, reflecting on bathing as ritual, comfort, and play.
We’re sharing a few scenes from the exhibition below—come see it in person before it closes.
At Jinny Street Gallery, we believe creativity thrives in shared spaces—whether it’s the glow of our streetlamp lightboxes or a quiet corner of a café. We hope to see you at the workshop, in the gallery, or simply passing by. Stay curious, and stay playful.
As always, see you around the hood,
— Toto & Lorenzo
