Kumiko Woodworking Digital Class

Woodworking expert Michael Olin guides crafters in a relaxing kumiko digital workshop, creating the Asanoha pattern with kumiko strips. Kumiko is a Japanese woodworking art involving small wooden pieces’ intricate, nail-free assembly to form geometric designs used in shoji screens and fusuma. The Asanoha pattern, a prominent wagara design, symbolizes hemp’s resilience and growth, drawing inspiration from hemp leaf structure, resembling six-pointed stars, signifying strength and endurance in harsh conditions. By the end of this video-only workshop, the resulting kumiko piece will be complete and be donned as a unique coaster, decor item, or holiday ornament.
