From Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design:
A creative experience with lacquer from recycled materials for all!
As part of Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2024, Lamphong Studio organised this workshop as an introduction to traditional lacquer art, covering the production process as well as the history and significance of lacquer within the broader context of the Vietnamese culture. With Lamphong’s artists as facilitators, participants will have the opportunity to create unique lacquer works from materials that might otherwise be discarded, such as pressed stone powder, plastics and eggshells.
The workshop is a point of connection for people to join hands in preserving and promoting traditional cultural values, while also contributing to the development of an environmentally conscious community. The use of recycled materials in lacquer art not only helps minimise environmental impact, but also celebrates traditional beauty and sparks a sense of national pride.
* Lamphong will provide the materials for the workshop, including lacquer, fabrics, eggshells, gold leaves, as well as detailed instructions on the processes of gilding, inlaying eggshells, and polishing to complete the artworks.
