Join us for a memorable cultural and creative experience with our creative Sunday workshop. This hands-on workshop is perfect for families looking to bond through artistic expression while exploring traditional Chinese crafts.
Under your tutor's guidance, you and your family will dive into the vibrant world of tie-dyeing silk scarves and the intricate art of marbling Chinese fans. These activities not only offer a unique way to learn about Chinese culture but also allow each participant to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
What you'll make:
  • A marbled Chinese fan: Crafted using the traditional water marbling technique, each fan is dipped into a bath of swirling pigments, resulting in a stunning, one-of-a-kind pattern. This process ensures that no two fans are alike, making your creation a unique piece of art that reflects the beauty of Chinese craftsmanship.
  • A tie-dyed silk scarf: Experience the joy of tie-dyeing as you create a luxurious silk scarf. The process involves binding sections of the silk and immersing it in vibrant dye baths, resulting in unique patterns and rich colours. Each scarf is a personal work of art, with its own distinctive design, making it a perfect accessory or a thoughtful gift.
This workshop is a perfect blend of creativity and cultural exploration, designed to inspire participants of all ages. Through the marbling of Chinese fans and tie-dyeing silk scarves, families will not only create beautiful, unique items but also embark on a cultural journey that they can cherish for years to come.
