CHINESE STAMP ARTS AND CRAFTS

The Chinese Stamp Art (or seal carving) is one of the traditional four arts, i.e. Chinese painting, calligraphy, poetry and seal carving. A personal stamp in red colour is an integrated part of a Chinese artwork of painting or calligraphy.

The golden era of seal carving in Hong Kong date back to the 1900s. Back then, most people could not read or write, and they had to stamp their signatures on official documents.

Master Ng is a seal carving artisan with over 40 years of experience. His creation has also been printed on Standard Chartered’s banknotes. During the workshop, he would share the history and techniques in seal carving, and teach participants to create personal stamp.
