Ocean Stamps take rubber stamps as the medium of environmental education to tell stories of the ocean. Through painting and carving rubber stamps, participants get a clearer picture of the characteristics of cetaceans, their lives, past, present and future.
The workshop will teach participants ways of distinguishing between whales and dolphins. At the end of the workshop, they will take home not only the rubber stamps but also tales of the ocean.

Ocean Stamps

Ocean Stamps began in 2015 in Hualian of Taiwan. The name has double meanings: it literally means “ocean-themed stamps”, and “an oceans person”, someone who has great passion for the sea. The two phrases sound very similar in Cantonese. As a Hongkonger living away from her hometown, the Hong Kong identity is especially dear to the creator behind the brand.
Ocean Stamps promotes ocean education through the making of rubber stamps. Every stamp tells a story, perhaps about sea creatures or perhaps about the crisis our Earth is facing.
“There is still much to be learned about the ocean, and making stamps helps me to keep learning, searching and enriching myself.”

Free Flow Workshop – Paste a Trace! Linocut Printing
Courtyard
1.12 09.12
11:00 - 20:00
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of linocut carving and printing techniques. Participants will learn how to identify what makes an ideal image for a linocut artwork. They can either use their own design or use the readymade ones for printing. Starting with tracing the selected pattern or design and transferring them onto the lino surface, they can then carve the lino block with linocut blades to create a positive image. The image will be inked using a roller with block printing ink and printed onto paper or fabric.
Participants will also learn an easy way to print using a spoon and soap. They can take home the lino block to do more printing at home! The workshop will focus on mono or duo-colour print. Participants may choose to print the same design in multicolours.
Free admission on a first-come, first-served basis. No registration is required.

This original origami wallet design is created to work better and last longer than traditional leather wallets. A wallet that is sustainable, durable, functional, beautiful, and affordable at the same time. Too good to be true? Come and “fold” for yourself!

Blackbody Lab is a local product design studio with a vision to
bring productive changes to our society through valuable designs.
Inspired by a physics concept, we believe that a valuable design should behave just like a “black body” which embraces social differences, absorbs human negative influences to the
environment, and still able to radiate positive impacts to our everyday living.
From our senior citizens’ sock-wearing problem to the worsening materialistic lifestyle of recent generations, each Blackbody project is set to research and develop practical solutions towards a specific social issue. Through the superficiality of the current consumer market, it is clearer than ever that it is our responsibility to generate true value through the design of "black bodies".

The popularity of different ingredients in cooking varies from decade to decade. Sometimes the use of a certain ingredient declines only because of our limited knowledge and understanding of it. Is salted fish only good for fried rice and meat cake? Curator Andy Dark will demonstrate other possibilities of using salted fish creatively to make dishes that you wouldn’t have expected!

The brand “Handmade by Debbie Leung“ was founded a few years ago in Hong Kong. The products are handmade by Debbie Leung, an artist whose works are created predominantly with hand-dyed natural fiber. They are mostly one off unique wearable pieces.
The Brand further develops a mindful fashion line “Debbie Leung” to incorporate collaborations with other artists, craftsmen and underprivileged groups. The brand philosophy strongly supports a healthy economic cycle and fair trade principles.
Apart from providing an alternative income to these groups, it translates ancient craftwork to a modern context. When a garment is handmade by a person in ancient ways, it carries a story behind the tangible form. It becomes a manifestation of human wisdom and culture passing from generations to generations. In short, it is a crystallization of art and culture.
The Brand celebrates objects that hold meaning for the producers and for the wearers, meaning that is inherent in the textile itself.

Handmade Japanese Traditional Paper Workshop
Verandah S6C, Staunton Block A
Date & Time
1.12 ( Sat )11:00 - 13:00
Online Registration
At the very beginning, a piece of paper is made by interweaving fibers. Different kinds of fiber produce paper products with different functions. Paper made from rough fibers is suitable for making decorations, such as wrapping paper, lampshade, wallet etc; while paper made from smooth fibers is used for writing, book-making and printing.
During the papermaking process, the pounding sound of wooden hammer hitting on plants to extract fibres intertwines with the stress-relieving sound of waves. We are allowed to focus on the present moment, and reconnect to ourselves. You will experience this process first-hand at the workshop.
