Your Experience
Craft a Vietnamese wooden keepsake in a small-group, hands-on wood carving workshop with an English-speaking local artisan instructor.
Getting started
Check in at the workshop space and meet your English-speaking artisan/instructor, who introduces the session and basic safety guidelines. You then choose from the prepared 2D wood blocks in the Chill & Art options and put on your protective apron. After a short demonstration of tools and carving motions, you move to your own workstation to begin carving.
