You'll arrive at a welcoming studio and be paired with an instructor who walks you through timber selection. Next comes the hands-on part: using hand tools to shape your sticks, sanding them smooth, and applying your chosen finish. The process is tactile and straightforward—instructors demonstrate each step and stay close by. Expect some dust and a genuine sense of completion when you hold your finished pair. The whole session flows naturally within the hour.
