【คลาสเวิร์คช็อป】Pet Hair Memorial Glass Workshop

Some memories do not have to begin only after goodbye. They can also be preserved from the small traces left in everyday life. In the TOQ pet hair memorial glass workshop, you can take part in the making process with the guidance of a teacher and visually confirm that your hair or keepsake is placed into the glass material. You will witness how the keepsake slowly becomes part of a glass piece through flame, heat, and handwork. This workshop is suitable for beginners, pet owners, families, and anyone who wishes to create a meaningful memorial object by hand. Pets may be welcome depending on the venue and safety conditions. Please contact TOQ before booking if you would like to bring your pet. ──────────────── TOQ CLEAR Process Our craft is as transparent as the glass itself. Many people wonder: “How do I know that the hair or keepsake I provided is really placed inside the piece?” That is a very natural and important question. TOQ uses the TOQ CLEAR Process to make the key making process visible. C｜Confirmed You can visually confirm that your keepsake is placed into the glass material. L｜Live The key making process takes place on site. E｜Embedded The keepsake enters the glass and becomes part of the piece. A｜Assisted The teacher assists with technique, safety, flame control, and finishing. R｜Recorded Photos and videos are welcome within a safe range. If you care about seeing and confirming the placement of your keepsake, this workshop is especially suitable for you. ──────────────── What You Will Make Each participant will complete the following in about 2 hours: ・2 galaxy-pattern pet hair memorial glass beads ・Choice of Set A or Set B The finished beads are approximately 0.8–1 cm in diameter. Actual size may vary slightly depending on the glass condition and making process. Set A｜Star Trail Leather Bracelet Includes bead holder and custom wrist size. Set B｜Original TOQ Sterling Silver Glass Bead Pendant + Sterling Silver Chain This workshop is not about completing advanced lampwork techniques completely on your own. The focus is to participate in the key process with teacher assistance and confirm that your keepsake enters the glass material. ──────────────── Will the Hair Remain Visible in the Glass? No. Organic keepsakes such as hair, whiskers, nails, and shed skin carbonize during the high-temperature lampwork process and form bubbles inside the glass. The hair will not remain as its original line, color, or clear texture. This is why TOQ places importance on allowing customers to visually confirm the placement of the keepsake during the making process. ──────────────── Keepsakes That May Be Used TOQ can evaluate the following materials: ・Pet hair ・Whiskers ・Feathers ・Nails ・Teeth ・Shed skin ・Baby hair ・Human hair ・Cornea ・Other special keepsakes If your keepsake is very limited, precious, or unusual, please contact TOQ with a photo before booking. ──────────────── Suggested Amount ・Whiskers / human hair / baby hair: 3–5 strands, about 5–7 cm long ・Pet hair: about the size of a NT$1 coin when spread flat ・Feather: 1 piece ・Shed skin: about 3 × 3 cm ・Hedgehog quills: 3–5 pieces ・Nails: please contact us for evaluation ・Tooth: a small piece, evaluated by the teacher ・Cornea: please contact us first ──────────────── Workshop Flow 1｜Keepsake check You may send a photo before the workshop for initial evaluation. 2｜Tool and safety introduction The teacher explains lampwork tools, flame safety, and the making process. 3｜Keepsake placement confirmation You can visually confirm that your keepsake is placed into the glass material. 4｜Teacher-assisted making The teacher assists with flame control, glass condition, and timing. 5｜Finishing You will complete 2 galaxy-pattern glass beads and choose Set A or Set B for daily wear. ──────────────── Optional Add-ons Additional accessories and custom options may be selected on site, depending on availability. ・Silver earring setting +TWD 400 ・Silver ring setting +TWD 500 ・Original TOQ sterling silver bead base +TWD 800 ・Silver chain +TWD 500 ・Star Trail Leather Bracelet +TWD 1,280 ・Memory Guardian wrist base / small sculpture +TWD 2,480 ・Sterling silver solid pendant +TWD 3,400 ・Sterling silver snake ring +TWD 2,400 ・Pet photo wooden keychain from +TWD 1,500 ・Pet photo wooden display box +TWD 1,800 ──────────────── Before You Come ・Please bring the keepsake you would like to place into the glass. ・If you have long hair, please bring a hair tie for safety. ・The workshop uses flame and high-temperature glass.
