Meet Hu Bingren, a master of Chinese arts and crafts, and a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage bronze carving technique. Learn how he pioneered a new trend of molten copper art, pushing millennium bronze art from traditional craftsmanship to a new realm of public art and architectural aesthetics.

Create your own copper art piece by covering copper plates with exquisite patterns with rice paper, and using rubbings to make the ancient patterns come to life on the paper. Hold a special chisel and hammer to strike the rhythm of points and lines on the copper sheet, and personally carve exclusive textures or text.

Observe and participate in the process of heating and melting copper material, injecting it into a simple mold for cooling and forming, and intuitively experience the magical process of transforming copper into shape. Use sandpaper and tools to repeatedly polish rough copper billets, witnessing their transformation from dull and rough to shiny and mirror-like.

By hammering on a small anvil, change the shape and texture of copper sheets, experiencing the most primitive metal plasticity process. Watch thousands of works such as giant bronze sculptures, exquisite vessels, architectural components, and home art, fully showcasing the transformation of copper from heavy tradition to modern aesthetics.
