長野県の宮田村にある小さな田舎の小さな愛芽のアトリエは、2010年父親が建てた倉庫を改装して、使わなくなった木材は勿論、廃校になった校舎の窓や扉などの廃材を使って生まれたブリコラージュのアトリエです。
私が大好きなジブリの世界のようなアトリエは、魔法や自然、古いものと新しいものが入り混じった空間でお客様をお迎えしています。お庭も含めて今も少しずつ改装し続け、実際に観に来ていただく楽しみを一番にしています。
自身の創作の場でもあり、ギャラリースペースはお客様や仲間と時々時間を共有する場所でもあります。スマホがあればいくらでも好きな時に好きなだけ時間が使え潰せるようにもなり、気づけば無駄に時間を使ってしまう事も増え、いかに有意義な時間を過ごすかがとても重要だと気づかされます。物質から心の時代に突入した今だからこそ『時間』そのものが貴重になってきたと感じます。愛芽はこの小さな場所で自身の創作が中心にはなりますが、お客様にご来店頂く際は、ただ見る、買うという場所だけではなく、ほっこりゆっくりとアナログな時間を提供できればと思っています。
ジュエリー販売、オーダーメイド、彫金教室、展示会等々、多様な此処でしか過ごすことのできない『小さな癒しの時間』を愉しんで頂けましたら幸いです。

meme's small atelier in a small rural area in Miyata Village, Nagano Prefecture, refurbishes a warehouse built by her father, and uses not only wood that is no longer used, but also scrap materials such as windows and doors from a closed school. This is a collage atelier.
An atelier like the world of my favorite Ghibli. We welcome our guests in a space where magic and nature, the old and the new are mixed. Even now, including the garden, we continue to refurbish it little by little, and the most important thing is the enjoyment of actually coming to see it. It's an atelier like the world of Ghibli, which I love.
It is also a place for my own creation, and the gallery space is also a place where I sometimes share time with customers and friends. If you have a smartphone, you will be able to spend as much time as you want, whenever you want, and you will find yourself wasting more and more time. I feel that "time" itself has become precious because we have entered the age of mind from material things. At this small place, Aibu focuses on her own creations, but when she visits customers, she hopes to provide them with a relaxing analog experience, rather than just a place to see and buy.
We would appreciate it if you could enjoy a "small healing time" that can only be spent here, such as jewelry sales, custom-made, metal engraving classes, exhibitions, etc.
