Creating a Special Walking Stick to Enrich Your Daily Strolls

Participants will craft a unique walking stick by attaching a ceramic horse head to the tip of a bamboo staff. Walking with your own hand-painted horse will give you the feeling of being guided one step further into the future.

 

Workshop Process

  • Using special ceramic markers, participants freely decorate a pre-prepared white porcelain horse head.
  • After painting, the horse head is baked in a household toaster oven for about 15 minutes to set the colors
  • The finished horse head is then attached to the tip of the bamboo staff, and reins are fixed to serve as the handle—completing the walking stick.

 

With your completed staff in hand, your daily walks will become an even richer and more delightful experience.
