✨ Chinese Hanfu Hairstick Making Workshop in Amsterdam — Monthly Creative Experience ✨
Ready to try something completely unique in Amsterdam?
Join the first-ever Chinese Hanfu–style hairstick making workshop and create your own stunning, handcrafted accessory inspired by ancient tradition and modern aesthetics.
Whether you’re into DIY crafts, Asian culture, fashion accessories, or just want a relaxing creative afternoon, this workshop is for you.
🌸 What You’ll Experience Chinese hairsticks / hairpins have been part of Han Chinese culture since the Qin dynasty, crafted from jade, gold, silver, carved wood, tortoiseshell, bone, and more.
They symbolised elegance, adulthood, love, and commitment.
At age 15, girls received a hairstick during their coming‑of‑age ceremony. During engagements, a woman gifted her fiancé her hairstick as a promise. After the wedding, the groom returned it by placing it back in her hair.
Now you can learn to make your own — with a modern twist.
