【Workshop(s)】【Pinkoi Design Festival】 Wooden Tableware Carving DIY - A Woodworking Experience for Beginners

**Original Wood Philosophy The First Step Woodworking Experience** Original Wood Philosophy x Cypress House Aroma Life Joint Exhibition In Taiwan, woodworking might seem cool but has a high barrier to entry. Finding resources, instructors, gathering tools, purchasing wood, finishing, hardware... Each step can deter beginners from the joy of woodworking. Recalling the stumbles and high trial-and-error costs when starting my own woodworking journey, we wanted to create a woodworking experience that offers beginners a sense of accomplishment, simply because... woodworking is truly a therapeutic activity! We've prepared everything for you: raw wood blanks, tools, tool boards, and instructors! During a short one-hour experience carving wooden tableware, perhaps you'll spark a small interest in woodworking (?) At the **Pinkoi Design Festival @ Yuanshan Expo Park Booth B049**, let us help you take that first step! **Experience Details** Surface carving of wooden tableware Small class sizes suitable for beginners, limited to 4 participants per session (maximum 5) No need to bring any tools! Depending on the time slot, you can choose between a Canadian Yellow Cedar Cutting Board, a Black Walnut Cake Stand, or a Black Walnut Oval Plate. The instructor will teach Japanese-style wood grain patterns commonly found in tableware, such as straight grain, willow leaf grain, and bubble grain, based on the item and your learning progress, which you can apply to your creation immediately. You can take your finished piece home right after the session! **New Product Preview Special Price** Pinkoi Online Registration Discount Price **$690** On-site Registration Price **$790** *Online registration is prioritized.
