What do paper and ink remind you of?

Artisans in China have long used ink rubbings to record texts and images as a means of preserving their culture. Organised in collaboration with The University of Hong Kong Libraries Preservation Centre, this workshop presents a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty of this art form. The workshop includes:

a brief introduction to Chinese ink rubbing, with reference to rubbings in the Museum
a demonstration of ink rubbing techniques
a hands-on ink rubbing session in which participants can create artworks to take home

The workshop is recommended for participants age 5 or above. Ticket holders under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult (maximum one adult per child, no extra ticket is required for accompanying adults). Each pair of participants (one adult and one child) will receive one set of materials.
