(Macao, August 6, 2019) – Sands China Ltd. is inviting 12 ceramic artisans from Jingdezhen and Dali, China to lead a free Ceramic Artisans Workshop at The Venetian® Macao, open to the public 2-6 p.m. daily over a two-week period from Aug. 19 to 30.
The talented professional artisans will showcase various ceramic skills and techniques at the workshop, including ceramic sculpting, Wucai painting, marbling, pinching, carving, underglaze blue painting, brush making, tile cat making, and bamboo tool production, among others. The workshop will feature interactive demonstrations, and participants can join hands-on activities such as ceramic painting, beading and pinching and take their works home with them. Attendees of the family-friendly workshop must be 5 years old or above, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Ceramic Artisans Workshop is one of the activities surrounding Sands China’s All That’s Gold Does Glitter – An Exhibition of Glamorous Ceramics, which is on display for public viewing now until Oct. 9 at The Venetian Macao; The Parisian Macao; the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip; and Sands® Macao. In addition, the exhibition is loaning four of its feature works to the Macao Museum of Art until Oct. 8 for display at Art Macao’s main exhibition.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said: “After holding successful masterclasses for university art students in June, Sands China is delighted to now use the opportunity provided by our ceramics exhibition to hold this workshop featuring ceramic experts from Jingdezhen and Dali. It’s a rare opportunity to see these artisans demonstrate their skills live, and we hope local and visiting families can visit the exhibition and experience this unique workshop in the setting of an integrated resort. We hope this exhibition and workshop help popularise ceramic art in Macao and foster a rich artistic environment in the city, in support of Art Macao.”
