Nestled in the heart of Melbourne, our unique handmade workshop studio invites you on an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of China’s intangible cultural heritage.
What is China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage?
China's intangible cultural heritage encompasses the traditions, practices, crafts, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations. It is the soul of Chinese culture, representing the living roots of its civilization and the vibrant expressions of its identity. From the intricate artistry of pottery and calligraphy to the ancient practices of incense and wax making, each craft tells a story of historical significance, cultural values, and ancestral wisdom.
Our Courses:
  • Pottery & Soft Pottery: Shape the clay into forms that echo the ancient craftsmanship of Chinese potters.
  • Incense Making: Blend natural scents that have perfumed Chinese temples and homes for centuries.
  • Wax Making: Craft candles inspired by the ones that have illuminated China’s past.
  • Calligraphy: Learn the art of brush strokes that have been a revered form of expression throughout China's history.
  • Tie-Dyeing: Dive into fabric art that reflects the vibrant ethnic diversity and creativity of China.
  • Lacquer Fans: Decorate fans that carry the elegance and aesthetic sensibilities of Chinese culture.
And more...
Why Choose Us?
Our workshops are a gateway to exploring the depths of Chinese culture through its living traditions. Each session is crafted to not only teach you the techniques of these ancient arts but to connect you with their cultural roots and the stories they hold. In preserving and promoting these practices, we aim to keep the flame of China’s intangible cultural heritage alive for future generations.
