However, if you have a cold or cough, please wear a mask at all times. ➤ Use the "Philips UV" lamp disinfection tool regularly every week. ➤ During the metalworking process, there will inevitably be dust from polishing and welding smoke. During the manufacturing process, "Honeywell air filters" will be used to reduce harmful air pollution and maintain good air quality. ➤ When the instructor assists in polishing and repairing, a "professional-grade air filter that absorbs polishing and repairing dust" will be used to protect the instructor's lungs and maintain good air quality. ______________ 【About experience space】 ➤ The studio is mainly in wood tones, with white and black colors, and some antique props that Ermao collects. Green plants are planted indoors and outdoors, creating a Japanese-style fresh light industrial style overall. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52931022229_2256d11d73_b.jpg ➤ A specially customized 90 cm table height digging metalworking table, a wide lift chair that can be adjusted in height, and an independent small work desk lamp for each person, so that you can have sufficient lighting, adjust the appropriate height, and work in the most comfortable environment Enjoy creating. ➤ There are two toilets in the studio, so you don’t have to worry about waiting when there are many students. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52931022234_c89186f079_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52930357207_3e91ee33d6_b.jpg ______________ [About corporate reservations] ➤ The studio classroom area is divided into the front half of the classroom (full capacity for 12 students) and the glass room classroom (full capacity for 12 students), which can accommodate "24 students" (the upper limit). ☟ The main metalworking teaching area in the first half (full capacity is 12 students) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52931314418_36fae8c590_b.jpg ☟ Glass House Classroom (full capacity for 12 students) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52930280712_d3d1bab8db_b.jpg ➤ As time slots are arranged every day, this metalworking experience course is sold online on different platforms.
