- Chinese Knotting: Create a traditional hanging ornament or jewelry piece while learning the symbolism behind Chinese knots and their meanings
- Chinese Ink Painting & Calligraphy: Paint or write the Chinese character on a fan or a lantern, or learn to write your Chinese name using traditional brush calligraphy
- Peking Opera Mask Painting & Dress-Up – Paint either a Sun Wukong (Monkey King) or Caishen (God of Wealth) mask, then dress up in matching traditional costume and have memorable photos taken
- Chinese Paper Cutting: Create a paper cut of your Chinese zodiac animal, a festive design, or a creative artwork using traditional motifs such as fish, flowers, and other auspicious symbols.
All activities are beginner-friendly and include step-by-step guidance from experienced instructors in a small-group setting. By the end of the workshop, you'll take home your handmade creations, along with a deeper appreciation of Chinese traditional arts and crafts.
