The class, hour by hour
Silk embroidery or olive-pit woodcarving
Meet your master in a real working studio. Learn the signature technique — silk splitting (劈丝) for embroidery, or fine carving under the olive-pit master's hand. Materials and your own finished piece included.
Suzhou noodle bowl
A local Suzhou noodle lunch, included in the base price. Optional upgrade to a 农家乐 (countryside restaurant) by Taihu lake: +$14–21 per person, paid at the table.
A relaxed afternoon
A photogenic café or a small specialty bar — the slow part of the day, your own tab, our pick of the best spots.
The second craft
If you started with embroidery, now it's woodcarving — or vice versa. Two crafts, two masters, two keepsakes.
Optional: Chinese wedding dinner
Guests without the dinner finish at 17:00. The wedding banquet starts at 17:30 and runs 2+ hours, so the day ends around 19:30–20:00. Red envelope gift for the couple: $42–70 per person. Wedding banquets are held mostly on weekends — book at least 1 week ahead (availability is limited).
