About the Exhibition & Craft Fair
The Jockey Club “Handmade Wellbeing” Youth Craft Education Programme is a 3-year initiative launched by CUHK Department of Fine Arts in collaboration with Design and Cultural Studies Workshop and The Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence Teachers’ Association. Sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the programme offers crossdisciplinary learning for secondary students through craft-making to foster creativity from diverse cultural perspectives. Ceramics and Woodwork are explored within the contexts of Culture, Craft, Creativity and Entrepreneurship.
Stepping into the 3rd year of the programme, the exhibition and craft fair to be held in PMQ from 3 March to 8 March aim to share the fruits of students’ learning and promote the art of handicrafts.
The exhibition showcases works from students at different stages of learning, and the teaching materials developed by the programme. Students were taught the culture and craft associated
with making handicrafts, and applied this knowledge creatively to forge everyday creations for specific user groups. Finally, they can have a taste of entrepreneurship at the fair by offering
custom designed and made crafts. The process was satisfying and meaningful in promoting social inclusion and wellbeing.
Alongside student work, crafts from 29 experienced artisans and young instructors are also on show at various living spaces, offering a glimpse into artisans from different generations and how their crafts form part of everyday life.
