【Workshop(s)】Forged Wide Sterling Silver Bracelet DIY, The Poetry of Handcrafts Tainan Metalworking Experience

Forged Sterling Silver Wide Bracelet ~ Tainan Bracelet Metalworking Experience (The Poetry of Handcrafts Metalworking Studio) Wearing a bracelet can be a form of solace, like a elder's blessing to a younger generation, like the bond between friends, like a personal aspiration, or a promise between lovers. (English letters and numbers can be engraved) "Forging" is the primary technique in metalworking, representing the most authentic contact with the metal. The forms and patterns it creates possess a unique tactile quality and warmth. Craft it yourself or for someone special, and imprint your personal mark. Handmade jewelry is imbued with warmth because your memories are within it. Event Details [Number of Participants] 1.

Across from McDonald's on Jiankang Road, there's a small slope. At the entrance, under a large tree, you'll see a sign for Zhuxi Village. Go straight for about 60 meters, and you'll see the "The Poetry of Handcrafts" sign. (Don't go towards the riverside path in front, even though the pink flowering maple trees are beautiful.) If you need parking, there is a lot between COFFEE DUET and ORO Cafe nearby. 2. For visitors from other areas, it's about a 10-minute taxi ride from the train station. If you're taking a city bus, take bus route 5 from the train station and get off at the Zhuxi Temple stop (right by the large tree). If you're arriving via the tourist bus 99 or the High-Speed Rail shuttle, it's a bit more of a walk. You'll need to get off at Yanping Junwang Temple, walk along Kaishan Road towards Fuling Road, and then towards Jiankang Road. Cross Jiankang Road, and you'll find the Zhuxi Village slope.
