【Workshop(s)】New Year's Floral Course Circle and New Year Ornaments

▶ Course introduction A pendant from the tradition of the Japanese New Year─しめなわ/Zu Liansheng, It is the knots of different shapes that are woven from the unknotted blue straw with the help of the staff through complicated procedures. Hanging at the door of your home on the first month of the new year has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and praying for peace. The solid texture is made from rice straw grown in Taiwan, At first glance, I knew that the texture of different origins on the market is very different. I like to hold it in my hand and there is a pleasant aroma of rice, which is really unforgettable of plant natural gas. During the actual visit to the production area of Zhuliansheng, Through understanding how to make knots of different shapes from the green rice harvested in bundles with great care, I still remember when the old boss made a special trip for us to open the door of the warehouse where the green rice was collected, The straw scent that came to the nose and the various kinds of renuncles that were once exported to Japan in large quantities were awe-inspiring...not to mention gaining a lot of extra valuable knowledge and immeasurable inner touch. Cherish the original intention of trying to find Taiwan’s precious handicrafts, I hope to share with you not only a decorative symbol on the festival, It is a real experience that can be made by the sense of touch, smell, sight, and hearing through floral courses. There will be a basic straw circle handmade in Taiwan, It is designed with flowers and leaves imported from Japan to create another interpretation that can span the festival. Different shades of green and gold are interwoven into a mature and stable picture. Circle round and round to welcome the arrival of spring soon, Add the hand of a family member who welcomes the reunion at home as a blessing, Good sympathy, good thoughts, and a good year. ▶ The size of the work│The completed size of the base straw knot is about 32 cm high and 28 cm at its widest point ▶ Course fee│NT$1,380 *All fees include imported flowers, flowers, materials and lecturers and professors *The course also comes with a Japanese New Year card, which is randomly selected on site and will not be designated *This work is provided with environmentally friendly paper materials, and the other is packed in paper bags ▶ Time required│about 2.5 hours ▶ Way of care│ > The stellar flower products designed by COCOBOLO FLOWER are all imported from Japan without withered flowers and a small amount of dried flowers > Stellar flowers are flowers treated with special technology and can be maintained for 1-3 years without fading > No need to water and please reduce the chance of direct sunlight > Avoid excessive humidity that may cause staining or transparent petals > If the flower is left for a long time and it is contaminated with dust, try to avoid touching it directly with your hands > You can use a brush or blow it with a hair dryer > The aroma and pollen of flowers are removed during processing, so there is no need to worry about allergies ▶ In order to comply with the new life policy for epidemic prevention, the course adopts a small class system, It is easy for one person to attend class, and can have proper and courteous handwork distance. ▶ In addition to daily disinfection and cleaning of the classroom environment and tools, alcohol and dry hands are provided for use, and there is a comfortable hand-washing space.
