About the event
WABI-SABI BUD VASE WORKSHOP
No experience? No problem! Come along for a fun ride into the world of woodcarving with Waiting for Spring's Wabi-sabi* bud vase workshop for beginners!
From a block of soft wood you can unleash your inner artist as you carve your way to creating a stunning bud vase.
This workshop is not about achieving perfection it's about experiencing the joy of making something beautiful, with your own hands. With each slice and carve, you'll see your block transform into a stylish dry bud vase. Alongside the laughs and the wood shavings, I’ll teach you cool carving tricks and tips, making this workshop not only a great way to learn a new skill but also a fantastic opportunity to create a unique, handcrafted piece that’s all your own. It’s the perfect mix of creativity, skill-building, and fun!
*Wabi-sabi: in traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-sabi is the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
