JSMP is pleased to bring together two of Hong Kong's most compelling artisan voices for an afternoon of making.
Ken Chow of Yat Muk (一木), a woodworking studio rooted in the tradition of mortise-and-tenon joinery, and Nathan Wong of COXPER, a metal craft studio championing the sculptural possibilities of copper, will guide participants through the making of a pair of wooden chopsticks and a copper chopstick rest — paredback versions of the handcrafted essentials found at the JSMP shop.
In around 40 minutes, you will take turns working alongside Ken and Nathan, shaping objects that carry more than their form. The chopstick holds the quiet history of Asian dining across cultures; the rest draws from the very Hong Kong memory of folding paper wrappers at the table — a small ritual worth keeping in copper.
Behind every considered object is a human hand, a practiced skill, and a way of life. This workshop is an invitation to experience that firsthand — and a reminder that at a time when so much is shaped by digital efficiency, there is another path: one built on intention, material, and making.
At JSMP, that belief runs through everything we do — from the clothes we tailor to the objects we bring into everyday life.
Free to attend. Advance reservation required.
