Master craftsmen and women, many from families with generations of experience, guide visitors through the processes that have defined Chinese art for centuries.

Each activity is designed to connect participants with the philosophical and aesthetic principles underlying Chinese art, from the harmony of yin and yang to the balance of form and function.
