Chinese Drift Lacquered Fan (Qī shàn) Workshop: Exploring China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024)

Three overlapping drift lacquered fans with swirling pattern designs

The Qīshàn, or drift lacquered fan, is created via a traditional Chinese technique that combines lacquerware artistry with fan-making. Using the technique of floating colours on water and then dipping the fan to create unique patterns, it highlights the beauty of traditional Chinese colours and contemporary craftsmanship.

If you'd like to learn more, we warmly invite you to join us at our Qīshàn workshop!

The workshop will take place on Thursday, November 14, from 5:30pm-6:30pm in MN 5128.
