History 

To provide advanced woodworking techniques to practitioners, the Alliance Cultural Foundation invited driftwood and mixed-media artist Xu Wei-Bin to Taitung on January 25, 2011. Xu shared professional furniture-making concepts with the tribe and enhanced woodworking skills through hands-on practice. Participants also learned how to skillfully combine iron and wood, enriching the diversity of their products.
