The wooden storage box made from recycled wine boxes specially made by the students of Wood Workshop Class W1 for the elderly served by the Hong Kong Lutheran Social Service has been completed, and donation took place in late July by our planning colleagues and representatives from social welfare organizations. The elders all agreed with the students' workmanship, especially the mortise and tenon positions of the wooden box. Grandma Ah Zhen added: "It's so beautiful! I don't see such handicrafts at home, so I plan to put my jewelry in it."
The "Upcycling Youth Wood Workshop" we organize every year has always been very popular, by the end of 2023, there were more than 200 young students participated in this program. One of the 2022 graduates – Peggy, who works in the arts, didn't stop after completing both Introductory and Advanced Workshops, but continued to study wood crafts with the instructor to further improve her skills. She put her knowledge to use and formed a team with other graduates to serve as instructors in Taster Workshops, teaching children of all ages to make simple wooden works, thereby passing on this traditional craft.
Students of Wood Workshop Class W1 made practical wooden stool for the Ngau Tau Kok District Neighborhood Welfare Association, the mortise-and-tenon stools have been donated to their representatives and will be given to neighbors in need.
Students from Introductory Wood Workshop Class W2 completed wooden storage boxes for grassroots people who applied for the Caritas Jockey Club 'One More Lap' computer donation program, and it was donated at the beginning of July. All storage boxes are made from recycled red wine wooden boxes, which are environmentally friendly and practical. We hope those who receive them will like them.
The recycled wooden bow and arrow workshop on 6/7 has been successfully completed! Thank you Norman for his careful guidance, so that children can, with the help of their parents, use recycled wood and combine it with other environmentally friendly materials to create a highly personalized recycled wood bow and arrow. Everyone had a great time that day, children can’t wait to try it out quickly, and they want to color it and make it look beautiful after they finish the work!
