Kanawa Joinery with Hiroshi Yamaguchi

From $410.00
Date

Description

JTA are thrilled to welcome Hiroshi Yamaguchi back from KOITOYA Design/Make/Teach for a special workshop over the June long weekend, where you'll craft the beautifully designed Kanawa Pencase, with all classes to take place at the JTA Showroom in Kogarah, Sydney.

Because of the intricate nature of this project, this class is divided into two sections which are enrolled separately.

The Saturday of the long weekend introduces students to the Kanawa-Tsugi as it is found in Japanese structures, and students will cut their own Kanawa joint under Hiroshi's supervision, gaining experience using Japanese saws, planes and chisels.

This day can be enrolled as a standalone class and costs $410.

The Sunday and Monday of the June long weekend are dedicated to producing a pencil box with the lid in the form of the Kanawa joint. Hiroshi has secured permission from the inventor of this design to teach it, and this will be the second design in which he does so following Miyajima last year.

The two-day box making enrollment costs $690.

If you would like to enrol all three days, please select the bundle option for a a 5% discount ($1045).
