Description

Craft Your Own Chopsticks from Raw Wood Begin with simple wooden blanks and transform them into beautiful, functional chopsticks using a traditional kanna (Japanese hand plane). Feel the grain of the wood as you carefully shape each piece, and enjoy a calming, hands-on Japanese craftsmanship experience. Guided, Beginner-Friendly Workshop From rough shaping to a smooth, polished finish, every step is taught clearly and patiently by our instructor. This fully hands-on experience is designed for first-timers—no woodworking experience required. Select from Beautiful Japanese Woods Choose from a curated selection of Japanese woods, each with its own texture, aroma, and natural color. Two wood types are included at no extra cost, with premium woods available as an optional upgrade for those seeking something extra special.

Hands-on experience

Fantastic experience, very hands-on from the start. Honey was wonderful! She was such a great help making our chopsticks. The time she and dedication she took to make sure my chopsticks were perfect was well appreciated. I would recommend this experience!

Fantastic time - don’t miss it!

Fantastic experience - hands on from start to finish - from wood selection, to hand planing, to engraving, and staining. If you get lucky enough to have Honey as your instructor you will have a great time and leave with some amazing sticks (she helped guide us through every step so that the project came out beautiful). Would definitely recommend!
