HK Creative Aging Arts Festival Exhibition香港金齡藝術節展覽

It's the HK Creative Aging Arts Festival, I am honoured to have been invited in the visual arts exhibition among other artists.  

A happy closing brimmed with wonderful memories in the 12 days.  
Heartfelt thanks for all who have visited and supported behind us.
The exhibition message was to spread arts creation without age.  We can cultivate in any stages of life even after retirement or start at 70 years old. Life is colourful. 
「樂日久長」多元藝術展覽圓滿結束，感謝藝術總監與到訪的親朋好友學生、攝影師及大會團隊，12天展期與眾創作人及觀眾交流充滿美好回憶。展覽訊息傳遞藝術創作無分年齡，在人生的任何階段都可以修煉，甚至退休後、70歲都可以培養，生活是豐富多彩的。

My part of fibre arts mainly of wool felt and botanical printing.

With the leadership of artist director and curator the event was successful.

Kind of my botanical printing.  When visitors asked how to bond the plants on fabric.  I show them the post of making.

Some wearable art

Wool felt objects. People are interested to know how come wool can be such versatile media.  Here's the post I shared.

 

My nuno felt fashion

Nuno felt of textures

 

A few pieces of garment I made with nuno felt skills and botanical printing are free for fitting.  This is the post how I made the nuno felt dress.

I like this hanging, two sides. Printing of the hanging and my tunic are the same pieces done in Holland with local vegetation.

Botanical printed leather bag making植物印染皮革包包

Last post I mentioned my students learning.  It's always happy to see how my students’ final pieces of botanical printing turn out to practical items. Fung is artistic and creative. She learned the leather printing and finally finished the beautiful handmade bag. It’s one-of-a-kind, unique and functional. 

To make own botanical leather printing is not that difficult. My instant download pdf tutorial is inspiring. I have made some purses and bags with own printed substrates. If I could make the very professional one as this would be great. Fung said most of the bag is hand stitched and the final design of the bag was done by her uncle who loves leather crafts. My hats off to him.

前次貼文有關學生堂上製作，能夠見到學生把植物印染皮革做成實用物，使我大開眼界，尤其甚具藝術創意的楓，這個由她自已鋪陳至完成為一個獨特祗此一款的皮包包，令我羨慕又欣慰。

皮革印染不太難，我的網購教材詳列步驟，自行製作印染皮革工藝是多麼樂趣。

 

Functional and beautiful design
