12/02 From Nature to Creation: Craft Your Own Botanical Mini Sculpture

2025-11-28

On our campus, trees accompany us in the most ordinary ways, quietly storing the potential for renewal. Continuing the theme of the 2025 NYCU Sustainability Month “Campus Circular Economy Model Demonstration,” this workshop focuses on the regeneration and reuse of campus trees. Participants will rediscover the hidden value in fallen leaves, bark, seeds, and branches—and transform these natural materials into unique, life-filled animal and plant–inspired creations.

By observing the characteristics of different tree species, you will experience the calming, restorative qualities of nature throughout the creative process. Materials once overlooked can be reinterpreted through your hands, becoming meaningful works filled with emotion and story—making circular reuse not only a concept, but a sustainable action that can be practiced every day.

The workshop will be led by Artisan Lee Yung-Mo from the Taiwan Crafts Research and Development Institute. With years devoted to natural-material craftsmanship, he skillfully brings life forms to expression through bark, leaf veins, and seed structures. His warm and thoughtful teaching style will guide participants in reconnecting with nature through hands-on creation.

You are sincerely invited to join this journey into the second life of campus trees, and experience the quiet joy of turning nature into art.
