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

Facebook : @oceanstampsfwte
Instagram : @oceanstampsfwte

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.”

Drawing is mostly about hand-eye coordination, so that everything is precise and the result is visually pleasing. Have you ever tried drawing staring at your subject without looking at the paper? Maybe you will end up with something funny that bears no resemblance to the subject. It is an alternative way to practise hand-eye coordination, letting your hand trace what you see. Let's step out of our preconceived ideas of beauty and explore the other possibilities together!

(The organizer suggests participants attend the workshop in groups of at least 2 people.)

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!

Enamel Paint on Silver Folded Aeroplane Workshop

Verandah S4C, Staunton Block A

Date & Time

8.12 ( Sat )15:30 - 17:30

Design and art are transcended through breakthroughs amid “Trial and Error”. Glazing (enamel painting) is an art form that requires a lot of “Trial and Error” to master which one can often achieve surprising results.

This workshop not only allows participants to experience the changes of low-temperature glaze, it also teaches participants to use pure silver to fold paper planes from our childhood memories.

Let the paper plane take your dreams! Freedom, flying higher and farther better! Let it accomplish the unfinished dreams, and hope for a better life in the future. Folding the paper plane reminds us all the “Trial and Error” moments in our lives.
