What to expect

  1. 2h · Admission ticket included
    In China, a signature is more than a scribble in a page. For thousands of years, your identity was carved in stone. This is Seal Carving-Zhuanke. It uses "Seal Script" an ancient style of writing made specifically for blade, not the brush. The carver works with a steel blade on soft stone, where every single cut has to be final. Unlike painting, the is no "undo" button here. A great seal tells you a lot about the artist. You will be shown step by step and make your own unique personal seal.
