－ Workshop Experience Introduction －

• The Encounter of Cloisonné and UV Resin
  The earliest technique of cloisonné involved using copper wire frames filled with colored glazes, followed by repeated firing, polishing, and gilding. Reaching its creative peak during the Jingtai era of the Ming Dynasty, it is also known as 'Jingtai Blue'. We have adapted the cloisonné technique using modern UV resin and improved methods, allowing you to experience this peak craftsmanship without the need for firing!
  
  
• Paper-Cut Handmade Glass Cup
  Glass surfaces are non-porous, making them difficult for standard pigments to adhere to, let alone for small-batch customization. COZU Lab. has developed exclusive Taiwanese glass transfer paper for craft classes, allowing you to freely collage colored paper, cute illustrations, and letters, and transfer them onto the glass surface via water transfer. The finished product is fired at high temperatures to ensure the design is permanently attached. Perfect for gifts, personal use, or collections—you will never have to worry about having the same cup as someone else!
  
  
• Rare Handmade Glass Table Lamp
  Warm tones for the cold winter, combined with the flowing curves of milk glass, create a sweet and smooth sensation. From edging to welding, assemble each piece of glass to create a healing afternoon routine. Let's create some life romance together and brighten up a corner of your home.

• Decorating the Blue Whale ✤ Embroidery Workshop
  Based on a 3D cotton doll, we use silver metallic embroidery thread to stitch unique patterns, resembling the skin of a blue whale marked by life's experiences. Blue whales in the deep sea possess rare low-frequency sounds and precise detection abilities, much like the exceptional perception of an INFJ, representing the uniqueness of every individual. In this class, you will learn how to convert images into embroidery lines. Through this unique 3D cotton doll embroidery, pursue the same sensitivity and patience as a blue whale and enjoy some rare personal time. Every person as unique as a blue whale can meet someone who truly understands them.
