Itinerary

PRIOR MEET UP

Welcome gathering in Kuching town for an afternoon meet up. A chance to group and get to know each other before the journey begins.

DAY 01 TRAVEL AND VISIT

Participants make their way to the homestead. A private boat and rainforest guide will take you upriver to Ngapuh Homestead. In the evening, we gather for a welcome dinner and an introduction to the days ahead.

DAY 02 HARVEST AND MODEL MAKING

Time to get hands on. We begin the day learning how to harvest bamboo. Back on site, we move into model making and design development for what we will bring to life in the days ahead.

DAY 03 MODEL MAKING

Model making and design development continue. Sketches evolve into sculptures as we test ideas, refine details, and work together to shape the design.

DAY 04 MODULE BUILD

We start by splitting the bamboo. We begin crafting modules at full scale. As the build takes shape, hands on building begins.

DAY 06 WATERFALL EXCURTION DAY

Explore local waterfalls and enjoy time in nature. A chance to rest and recharge.

DAY 05 PETAL MODULE MAKING

We continue the build by bundling and layering the bamboo splits, shaping the pieces into petals. The modules come to life as we begin looping the bamboo petals together.

DAY 07 MODULE INSTALL

The pieces come together on site. We begin by installing the petal modules, then add bamboo weaving.

DAY 08 FINAL PREPARATIONS

Complete the installation and finishes. Take group photographs.

DAY 09 DEPARTURE AND VISIT

After heartfelt goodbyes to the homestead community, participants will begin their return journey by boat. Along the way, you may choose to stop at the Orangutan Wildlife Centre.
