I got invited to teach some peeps in Zambales, how to make souvenir items out of bamboo back in 2015.
The workshop participants are indigenous peoples from all over their province. They've got traditional folk crafts like bamboo pipes, bird calls, whistles, flutes, bows and arrows, but they also wanted to produce souvenir items like key chains, refrigerator magnets and the like.

Yours truly cooperated with Ms. Jaravata of DTI Zambales. It was a two day seminar on bamboo processing, with really awesome results.
I'm sharing some pics here:

They even exhibited some works in Likha ng Central Luzon 2015, which I failed to take pictures of. Sad :(
I'll be going back to Zambales soon, and hopefully more fresh stuff to post too!
