Traditional Chinese flower buttons are decorative and practical. The designs and materials are also indicators of social status – a symbolic function often reflected in the design of traditional Chinese opera costumes.
In this fun, hands-on workshop, local artist Ho Sze-nga guides participants to create a personalised, xiqu-inspired flower button hair clip. Ho also shares insight into the inspiration behind traditional flower button designs, and how ancient techniques are used to create symbolic costumes and accessories for xiqu productions.
This workshop is presented as part of the Black Box Chinese Opera Festival 2023. The Black Box Chinese Opera Festival 2023 is presented by the Xiqu Centre, with the Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin Charitable Foundation as title sponsor.
