Make a Kumiko Coaster

Description

Discover the captivating world of Japanese Kumiko craftsmanship and create a timeless masterpiece to cherish forever in this relaxing three-hour workshop. We’ll welcome you in and get you set up with all the essential tools - a bench hook, a Japanese saw, a freshly sharpened chisel, a block plane and a nice cup of tea. All essential tools for the job. We’ll show you some basic sawing and sharpening techniques and show you how to use our custom-made Kumiko blocks to create your very own Kumiko masterpiece. Then, we’ll show you how we prepare the Kumiko strips for use before getting immersed in the detail by spending the evening in a lovely relaxing environment while carving all the pieces for your Kumiko pattern. Once your pattern is complete, we’ll finish by creating a beautiful and perfectly fitting mitred frame for your coaster before final sanding and adding a protective oil finish.
