Inside the experience
Craft survives when skill, use and livelihood remain connected.
Why this experience
Rongchang makes it possible to compare different materials without reducing heritage to demonstration. Fibre, clay and fan-making each reveal time, technique, apprenticeship and the pressure to find new markets.
What the group will explore
MIC confirms a focused workshop sequence with recognised practitioners, building in material handling, respectful documentation, translation, realistic making time and direct discussion about continuity.
What you will take away
A practical view of intangible heritage as an economic and design system, not a frozen display, and a stronger appreciation of the labour inside handmade objects.
Request First. The final host, access, route, language support, timing and price are confirmed only after MIC checks the date, group profile and supplier readiness.
“The aim is not simply to see more. It is to understand what you are seeing — and who is behind it.”
