<br />As the name <i>Sơn Mài</i> (meaning “lacquer” and “sanding,” respectively) indicates, sanding is integral and the most exciting process of the art form. Artists use a sanding process not only to acquire smooth surfaces but also to create dramatic effects on their works. Practitioners first apply complex layers of lacquer with different colours and textures, using a variety of materials; then, the surface is sanded to bring the underlining layers back to the surface. This workshop includes an introduction to the history, science, and technique of Sơn Mài. A short video will help simulate the lengthy process of lacquer application. Finally, participants will enjoy unearthing and polishing a beautiful lotus painting.<br /><br />A public programme of <i>Trees of Life – Knowledge in Material</i>.
