Another teaching in Shanghai 又到上海教學

 

 Samples packed, tools packed.......  Yes, this batch is a few of the botanical imprinted samples with assorted leaves on wool, silk and linen as well the handy tools for my teaching in Jinze , outskirt ancient town of Shanghai for eco printing and wool felting workshops this week.

一切準備就緒, 植物移印染樣品及羊毛氈化工具, 甚至羊毛料也特別從英國訂購一同送去上海金澤古鎮教學, 這星期將會沈醉在典雅古樸的工藝坊與學生們研習創作, 沒有互聯網, 沒有臉書,靜待一周後, 回來再見......

 "Mum, make sure the wool is not overweight."

Some 20 kg of Finn and merino wool ordered from UK are shipped together as we wanted the best quality of wool for the students.

 Samples of wool felt purses, eco prints, and nuno felt wearable for the workshops.

 We'll immerse ourselves in the ancient campus of the Jinze Arts Centre........

a pretty venue with the waterway ........Will have no blog, no facebook and no internet for a week, until mid of next week.......

Thanks for stopping by.

I'll be back with updates,,,,,,, stay tuned.

 

Shanghai weaving trip part 1 of 2 上海紡織之行 (一)

 

Last week I took a 5-day trip to Shanghai for an arts centre open day and crafts workshop.

After a 2-hour flight we arrived Shanghai.  The main purpose of joining the workshop was that it was taken place in the suburb of Shanghai Jinze town,  the town is of 1,300 history and the bridges over the waterway are made of different materials and forms.

I went with my daughter but she stayed in downtown for other activities while I continue my way to the ancient town. 

Arriving Jinze we spared some time to admire the little old town by a boat along the waterway......

上星期去了上海五天, 為的是參觀金澤工藝館開放日及紡織工作坊, 工藝館座落於上海市郊的1300年古老江南小鎮 - 金澤鎮, 小橋流水, 每一座橋樑各有特色及歷史掌故.

Isn't it beautiful?  This is such a peaceful old town in China.

江南小鎮, 古老房子, 美不 ?!

Shanghai is a modern city with lots of high rises but those are not what we're interested.  On our last day we had dinner in an old stone house in downtown. 

Next part I'll show you what I've done in the workshop.

此行與女兒同飛上海, 她在市內有其他節目, 而我繼續在金澤鎮的工藝行程, 在最後一晚回到市內一起在田子坊的石庫門老房子吃日式爐端燒.. 下一網誌是我在金澤工藝館的活動.
