【Workshop(s)】[Metalwork without fire and hammering] Tin-carved cherry thumb piano 1 person group

**Healing Crystal Music Fairy** Kalimba is also called "thumb piano" because of the way it is played. It is plucked left and right with the thumb. The ethereal sound is like a crystal music box and is very healing. It is small, easy to carry, and easy to learn! By engraving the keyboard scale and personalized Chinese/English words on it with tin carving, and decorating it with cherry blossoms with the scent of spring, you can personally complete a unique kalimba, making playing the kalimba a feast for the senses of hearing and vision! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **The sound of the kalimba (students complete their own tin-carved kalimba and perform it live)** https://youtu.be/kX874wxjYd0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Taiwan pine wood 17-note tumbler style kalimba** The kalimba used in this course, from the selection of wood to the manufacture of steel pieces, is developed and manufactured by Taiwan Music City Co., Ltd.

In the process of learning tin carving, I watched the tin sheet being embossed with tools, and then slowly modifying and defining the edges. The moment it was completed, I felt a happy "****! As the pattern slowly appeared, my heart was calm and happy. In several exhibitions, tin sculptures were combined with clay succulents. The elegance of tin and the colorful and lively succulents made the works more attractive and refreshing. I hope to promote the handmade craft of tin sculpture so that more people can know about tin sculpture and experience the beauty of tin sculpture! 2017 Taiwan Bread Flower and Paper Clay Promotion Association - Certified Teacher of Bread Flower Variety Succulent Art Course 2018 Rongti Workshop Handmade Tin Carving Team Teacher 2018 Teacher of the Multi-learning Tin Carving Course at Taipei Mingde Junior High School 2018 [Love Things Xifu] Tin Sculpture Life Creation Joint Exhibition 2018 Daxia Art Gallery Tin Sculpture Lifestyle Creation Joint Exhibition 2019 Miaobei Art and Culture Center [Tin Love Hand-feeling Life Exhibition] 2019 Japan Certified Metal Pressing Teacher Certificate 2019 [Rongti Summer Handcraft Family Day] Tin Carving Course Teacher 2019 [Landscape in Hands-Rongti Handcraft Studio Teachers' Joint Exhibition] Tin Carving Course Teacher 2020 4H Art Education-Art Creation Lab Children and Adult Tin Sculpture Course Teacher 2021 Banqiao Far Eastern Department Store [Sea Aesthetics Course-Fishtail Mirror Tin Carving Introduction Course] Instructor 2021 Guoguo Creative Art Class Mother's Day Tin Carving Portable Mirror Instructor ...................................................................................................... ** [Location.Transportation]** **Wonderland Cafe https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51953541878_f7270b6a9b_k_d.jpg ● Exit 1 of Mingde MRT Station, turn left to Mingde Road and walk for about 3-4 minutes to arrive.
