![[Workshop 工作坊] Chinese Auspicious Cloud Woodcarving Workshop 中國祥雲木雕工作坊
The cloud motif in Chinese culture is a timeless symbol of auspiciousness. In ancient times, people believed that ‘clouds’ and ‘qi’ (vital energy) were one and the same, serving as carriers and symbols of vitality, spirituality and auspiciousness.
The exhibition ‘8 times 8. stories series systems in mythology & art’ showcases several traditional Chinese wood carved exhibits. Themed on the cloud motif, this workshop invites participants to appreciate the exhibited works while exploring relief wood carving from an artisanal perspective.
祥雲寓意祥瑞之雲氣。古代人們認為「雲」與「氣」實為一體，是生機、靈性、精神以及祥瑞等的載體和象徵，是最具生命力的藝術形式之一。
展覽「八八相乘——神話與藝術的敘述、系列、系統」展示了不少傳統中國木雕展品。本工作坊以祥雲紋飾為題，邀請參加者在欣賞展覽的同時，可以從工藝角度親手體驗浮雕木刻製作！
