Following that, under the guidance of the instructor, embark on your Luodian handicraft creation journey. You can first design a simple pattern according to your preferences, such as flowers, animals, or geometric figures, and sketch it on paper. Then, use tools to cut the base material into the appropriate shape and size. Next, use tweezers to pick up the Luodian slices and carefully paste them onto the base according to the designed pattern. This process demands great patience and care to ensure that the Luodian slices are neatly arranged and fit snugly. After the glue dries, gently sand the surface of the Luodian to make it smoother, and finally, you can also apply transparent paint or other finishing materials as required to protect the work and enhance its luster. 2 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
