Japanese wood carving is rooted in personal wellness, relaxation, and an age-old meditative tradition of making with your hands.

The class will start with a slow breathing exercise that leads into a discussion of different wood types, an explanation of the tools required, and an overview of the techniques used to cut wood. Once you have a basic understanding, I will guide you through the process of carving the bowl of the spoon with the spoon gouge, then designing and whittling the handle and top of the spoon.

In this fun and very hands-on class, you will learn and get hands-on with making ramen noodles from scratch, vegetarian-friendly soy miso ramen broth from scratch, make gyoza dumpling filling from scratch, pinch and pleat your gyoza wrappers by hand. You won't miss out on any part of the cooking process, as we will prepare everything together. First, we will make the gyoza dumpling filling, and fill and pleat our gyoza dumplings. Next, you will get to mix, roll out, and cut your own ramen noodles. Finally, we will make the soup together, and enjoy our ramen with delicious seasonal toppings as well as our deliciously fresh gyoza dumplings.

Other things to note: The ramen broth and noodles are vegetarian-friendly—however, the gyoza contains meat and we will have a meat (chashu) and veggie toppings available for the ramen. Delicious for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, but not vegan-friendly (the ramen noodles contain eggs). Homemade ramen eggs and other toppings will be available for topping the ramen.

Each guest will create a floral sculptural centerpiece arranged with fresh flowers, many of which have been grown in my garden or sourced locally. I will guide you with your design, use of color and texture incorporating lots of blooms, and fragrant greens, like eucalyptus and herbs. First you'll use pliers (provided), to bend and perfect a wire structure that fits inside the vase you choose, to support an abundance of flowers of various heights. Super reusable, this "frog" will make all your future arrangements so much easier to make. Then you will begin to zero in on your sculpture, closest to the vase lip, weaving foliage into layers. You'll continue with blooms of all sizes (from buckets of conditioned, hydrated flowers) and finish with colors that might be growing in front of you. From color choices to height and shape, I will help you learn some techniques to build an arrangement that makes you proud and happy with your effort! The final flourish captures what you have made in my professional portrait studio and I share the files with you. Over the past four years, this experience has been enjoyed with friends celebrating a birthday, sisters celebrating a Mother's Day, team building workshops, and couples having a lovely art and floral DIY morning together. Learning a few tricks for arranging your flowers is so satisfying.
