Workshops
Want to release some tension by crafting beautiful, functional objects with your own hands—ones that bring a sense of indescribable well-being when you gently glide them over your skin? Curious about working with stone and want to give it a try?
In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll be guided by a professional artist as you carve gua sha massage tools out of soapstone. With their smooth, graceful curves, these tools are perfect for relaxation and come with a variety of benefits.
We’ll explore the properties of soapstone—its qualities, texture, and limitations—then move on to sketching and planning before diving into the hands-on process: cutting and gradually sculpting your tools using the appropriate small tools, followed by sanding and polishing. You’ll be able to personalize your gua sha tools by choosing their exact shapes and curves to suit your needs.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with two polished gua sha tools, ready to use for self-massage or to gift to someone special.
Required skills: none. This workshop is open to everyone, even if you are already very relaxed.
The workshop includes tools, soapstone, professional advice, and a pleasant experience that won’t be frozen in stone!
