From Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design:
Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH) will take you to Ha Thai craft village to learn about traditional Vietnamese lacquer art through the craft village history, the uniqueness of local paint and the artisans’ effort to preserve and develop the art of lacquer.
In the morning, the award-winning artisan Vu Huy Men will explain to us the history of lacquer painting, the traditional and modern techniques involved and the images in his artwork.
In the afternoon, we work on our lacquer paintings under his guidance, using our creation or following his sample images (chosen for his workshop).
A traditionally-made lacquer painting normally takes weeks, months or even years to be completed. Therefore, within the scope of this one-day excursion and workshop, Mr Vu Huy Men will explain and instruct us to complete our work of art using traditional methods and substitute materials in a prepared 20x20cm red-painted lacquer board.
