City: Hangzhou
This hands-on workshop showcases three classic Jiangnan intangible heritage crafts, all passed down through hundreds of generations. Leisure travellers can enjoy a relaxing creative session. Participants paint beautiful landscape or floral patterns on oil-paper umbrellas, decorate elegant lacquer fans with gold and colourful pigments, and shape raw clay into pottery works. Every visitor can take home their own handmade artworks as unique cultural souvenirs to remember their trip to Hangzhou.
Student groups combine craft creation with systematic cultural learning. Local heritage masters introduce the origin and history of each folk craft, explaining the aesthetic features and cultural meaning behind Jiangnan handicrafts. Students practice traditional hand-making skills step by step, learn about raw material selection and traditional production techniques. Teachers encourage students to combine western creative ideas with Chinese traditional art during creation. The workshop helps students feel the charm of Chinese folk art and understand the value of protecting intangible cultural heritage.
PandaStudyTour prepares all craft materials, tools and bilingual craft teachers. We simplify the difficulty for younger participants and offer more complex designs for adults and teenagers, suitable for both casual creative fun and cultural art lessons.
