Shop Talk + Social - The Japanese Art of Kumiko

  • Makeville Studio 119 8th St Brooklyn, NT 11215 USA (map)

Join us for an introduction to and overview of kumiko with Johnny Tromboukis of JT Woodworks. Kumiko is a traditional Japanese woodworking technique that involves creating intricate and precise geometric patterns using small, interlocking wooden pieces. Kumiko is typically used to create decorative screens, sliding doors, and other decorative elements in Japanese architecture and furniture. Johnny will discuss how kumiko is made, the tools involved, applications of kumiko, and more.

Friday Shop Talk + Social is a monthly event at Makeville—join us for tool/technique demos, woodworking q&a, and “how I made that” inspiration. Contact us with suggestions for topics you would like to see covered!
