About the event

Create Your Own "Antique" at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art

Join us for a special hands-on workshop where you can craft your own mini sculpture, inspired by our museum's stunning collection! Led by painter and sculptor Cai Shuo, whose works draw deeply from Chinese religious and folkloric traditions, this workshop will introduce an easy and fun crafting technique using paper clay. You’ll create a unique sculpture inspired by ancient artifacts and antiques from our exhibitions. No prior art experience is needed, and the workshop is open to all ages!

Please note tours may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
