02:30 hours
Description
Learn the basics of Zhuzhi, a traditional Chinese bamboo weaving technique, and create your own round bamboo fan using natural materials.
Step into the world of traditional Chinese craftsmanship and create your handwoven bamboo fan — a beautiful and functional piece of cultural heritage. Learn the basics of Zhuzhi (竹织), or bamboo weaving, an ancient folk craft with deep roots in Southern China.
The bamboo fan, or Tuan Shan, has long been a symbol of elegance and grace in Chinese culture. Especially in Guangzhou, a city shaped by Lingnan traditions and its subtropical climate, bamboo weaving was not just a practical skill but an art passed down through generations.
During the workshop, you'll be guided step-by-step to weave your round bamboo fan using natural materials. No prior experience is needed — the process is meditative and creative, and you'll be amazed by what your hands can do.
I will assist you throughout the entire process in English to ensure you fully understand and enjoy the experience — no need to worry about the language barrier.
Take home not just a handcrafted fan, but also a deeper connection with China’s living cultural heritage.
**Please book at least 2 days in advance.**
