《Beginner Course Objectives》

Introduction...

This course is perfect for beginners and first-timers,
allowing you to fully experience the joy of making Tsumami Zaiku.
To continue enjoying the craft, we'll thoroughly cover the very basics.
Even experienced individuals or those looking to review the fundamentals will receive careful instruction.

This course aims to enable you to create beautiful flowers, one petal at a time.

As artisans and manufacturers, we value the importance of thoroughness.
We will clearly explain, in words and diagrams rather than just by feel,
the points that require careful and precise attention.

●Beginner Course Overview

## You will learn the basics of maru-tsumami (round pinching) and ken-tsumami (pointed pinching), techniques for finishing them beautifully, and fundamental skills such as handling glue. The final project is a bouquet-style brooch clip, which can be used for Shichi-Go-San or coming-of-age celebrations.

Intermediate and advanced courses will cover more specialized processes such as cutting, assembling, and handling thread.
The beginner course focuses on building foundational "pinching" skills step-by-step.
