Description

"The Weight of Craft" is a conceptual craft course at HK PolyU that encourages collaboration between design students and craftsmen. Students' professional knowledge and creativity will be used to assist craftsmen in innovating. It will help craftsmen stay current and expand their business. Students can learn from craftsmen in this course and experience traditional craftsmanship. They can also hone their traditional design skills to complement each other.

Choi Wing Kei, an experienced flower plaque craftsman, is invited to participate in this project. Students will collaborate with him on a flower plaque and exhibition. Three exhibits are included: a material book, tool displays, and the flower plaque. Acting as a catalyst, the project will help students and the public understand and experience traditional crafts and encourage innovation in crafts. As well as exploring and deepening the concept of "The Weight of Craft".
