"Meet the Masters!" Series

 

Programme in April 2025

 

From Hair to Brush — Demonstration of Chinese Brush Making Technique

From removing grease from the hair to straightening, aligning the tip, rolling the hair into the brush tip, trimming excess hair at the tip and forming the final brush, brush making involves delicate craftsmanship. A brush made of an infant's hair is a kind of brush carrying a keepsake significance.

 

Chinese Brush Making Technique is one of the new items inscribed into the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong in 2024. In April, the programme of the "Meet the Masters" series will introduce the item through demonstrations, allowing the public to learn more about the Chinese Brush Making Technique.

To enhance the public's understanding of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), the ICH Office has invited ICH practitioners and experts to talk about different ICH items, and chat with the participants. The programmes will be conducted mainly in Cantonese and free of charge.

 

The programme is one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about broad and profound Chinese culture.
