Mother-of-pearl inlay is one of the traditional decorative crafts of China. It involves processing the shells of marine molluscs such as snails, clams, and oysters into thin mother-of-pearl pieces. These pieces are then inlaid using specialised techniques to create specific patterns and designs.
The origins of this craft date back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it gradually matured during the Tang and Song dynasties. The craft reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties and has continued to be passed down to the present day.
Through the meticulous polishing and finishing work of skilled craftspeople, mother-of-pearl inlay products exhibit brilliant lustre, fantastical colours, and exquisite visual effects. By personally creating a mother-of-pearl inlaid brooch or hairpin, you can gain an appreciation for the elegant and luxurious artistic beauty found in the intricate inlaying process. Integrating this quintessential Chinese aesthetic into daily life can help us find moments of tranquillity and relaxation amidst the busy modern world, allowing you to reconnect with nature and cultivate inner peace.
After the course, our experienced cooking teachers will guide you step-by-step in creating local taste moon cakes that capture this famous celebration's traditional flours.
The workshop is also ideal for various group events. Our professional staff will work with you closely to devise a plan that suits your preferences and budget.
