London Craft Week, Chinese Design: Harmony in Diversity
Art and Design Magazine presents Chinese Design: Harmony in Diversity at the China Pavilion during the tenth anniversary of London Craft Week. The exhibition features twenty sets of clothing and jewellery – originated from Han, Miao and Yi ethnic groups, twenty works of ceramics – crafted in both official kilns of Longquan celadon and civilian kilns of Jingdezhen porcelain – alongside twenty sets of lacquerware, bringing the audience a fresh and comprehensive look into the history and future of Chinese craftsmanship.
Characterised by a tactile chaîne operatoire where materials are shaped as thoughts arise and morphed at hands’ touch, Chinese craftsmanship holds a unique place in the world history of material culture. As form blends seamlessly with function, utility is unified harmoniously with beauty.
Throughout the week the exhibition will host three themed activities on ceramics, fabrics and capacity building, sharing with guests both the making process behind and social impact of these fascinating crafts.
