| The Genesis School of Split Bamboo Rodmaking OVERVIEW
|
The Genesis School teaches both
traditional and modern rodmaking techniques. At the school, students will experience both
the classic and new concepts of rodmaking. The two instructors, well-versed in both
approaches, will guide aspiring craftsmen along the path to constructing their first
split-cane rod. Instruction is hands-on, individualized and intense. Students will be introduced to all the key procedures in a multimedia, easy-to-grasp approach. The Genesis School can also fine-tune the skills of an intermediate-level cane craftsman. |
