About

Hong Kong is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, a perfect crucible for artisans from all corners of the globe to exchange, learn and inspire. This exhibition celebrates the convergence of global cultures through craftsmanship, a phenomenon that transcends borders, fosters understanding and ignites a symphony of creativity.

Here, in this dynamic hub, visitors step into a world where the language of craft speaks volumes. Whether it’s the delicate glass sculptures of a Hong Kong neon artisan, the intricate ‘twists and turns’ of the Lingnan penjings by a Chinese master gardener, or the bold copper forms of a Japanese metalsmith, each piece speaks to the universal human desire for expression and connection.

Through the lens of craftsmanship, we break down barriers and bridge cultures. As globalisation connects artisans from across the globe, we see a fusion of styles, materials and traditions, resulting in unique and innovative creations. This exchange is not just about sharing techniques, but also about celebrating the rich diversity of human expression, appreciating the unique perspectives and skills that each culture brings to the table.

Crafts on Peel, a beacon of hope for the future of craft, stands at the heart of this movement. They are dedicated to reviving, reinterpreting and perpetuating traditional craftsmanship through a modern artistic lens, breathing new life into it with innovative contemporary design. Their Crafts Fellowship Programme empowers a new generation of artisans and nurtures their passion for excellence and commitment to preserving cultural heritage.

Crafts on Peel believes that craft is the soul of our culture, a tangible expression of our history, our values and our aspirations. Through this exhibition, they invite you to embark on a journey of discovery, to witness the transformative power of craft, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of creativity that connects us all.
