TOKINOKI Workshop for adults

The Art of Crafting Trees of Time
Discover the meditative practice of Tokinoki in this immersive 1.5-hour workshop. Inspired by Japanese bonsai traditions and the philosophy of wabi-sabi, Tokinoki invites participants to create wooden sculptures that capture moments in time and connect us more deeply with the natural world.

In this workshop, you will:
* Learn traditional woodworking techniques using authentic tools
* Master basic skills with chisels, Japanese saws and hand drills
* Practice the art of spontaneous creation, following the natural grain and form of the wood
* Select and incorporate botanical elements that speak to you
* Create a unique Tokinoki piece to take home – a physical manifestation of your creative journey

More than just a crafting session, this workshop offers a contemplative space to explore your aesthetic preferences and creative instincts. The process encourages mindfulness as you connect with natural materials, transforming simple elements into meaningful art objects that reflect your unique perspective. All sustainable materials and tools are provided, and no prior woodworking experience is necessary.
