What you’ll do:
Hung proudly above the main entrance, wooden signboards used to be an ubiquitous feature of Chinese shops! Today, these traditional signboards have become increasingly rare as more modern techniques emerged. Witness Mr Yong and Mr Cheh revive this lost art at MCF2022 where the former will be showcasing his calligraphic virtuosity while the latter demonstrates the careful techniques behind woodboard carving! This session connecting the past to the present is not to be missed this coming August!
