Suzhou style mooncakes are one kind of traditional Mid-Autumn festival food originating back to Tang Dynasty times and reaching popularity during the Song Dynasty. 

Suzhou mooncakes have a delicate crispy crust which makes it different than your average mooncake. We'll share our mooncake secrets with you. 

A tea ceremony is a ritualized form of making tea common in East Asia.  

There are many ways to perform a tea ceremony, the common thread that flows between them is "an adoration of the beautiful among the mundane facts of everyday life.”  

Tea ceremony can bring a sense of refinement, touch the inner spirit, cultivate humility, restraint and simplicity. It elevates an everyday activity and allows participants  to experience a kind of symbolism and formalism that is not present in everyday life. 

The Suzhou fan making is considered a national level Intangible Cultural Heritage craft. It originated during the Song Dynasty; bamboo, wood, iron, silk materials are still used today.

Let's start with a mysterious feather fan in the classic Chinese scroll painting Luoshenfutu with the history of more than 1600 years to explore the cultural code behind the fans...

Bamboo weaving is a world wide sculptural craft centered around knitting bamboo threads and bamboo strips, it is an essential skill in Chinese folk art. 

We will invite a local artist from Dongshan to discuss and share her original work and to teach our guests basic weaving skills.
