The event will start with a workshop on painting hand fans with East Asian animal motifs, which brings the experience of East Asian brush painting on an empty fan. Participants will learn about animals that have appeared repeatedly in East Asian art, such as birds, insects, fish, bats, tigers and dragons, and then try their hand at brush painting themselves.
The workshop will be led by illustrator Lili Saje Wang and is suitable for all ages (7 years and up).
