For the first time in the UAE, explore ancient Japanese woodwork joinery with master craftsman Satoshi Ichihara of Iwata Houraiya Studio, Japan. Understand how to make intricate joints with precision and skill by creating a ‘Tome-gume Shashin waku’ (clasp) photo frame without the need for screws, nails or glues.
During the 4-day morning course, Satoshi Ichihara will demonstrate how to create a ‘Tome-gume Shashin waku’ (clasp) photo frame.
