What Is Growing Inside?
This is not a silent exhibition. The materials, tools and works-in-progress are part of the garden too.
Silk Flowers That Do Not Fade
Discover Ronghua, a flower-making technique that transforms loose mulberry-silk fibres and fine copper wire into petals, leaves, insects and miniature landscapes.
Paintings Made with Thread
Look closely at Shu silk embroidery and see how the direction, thickness and sheen of a single thread can create light, shadow and movement.
Making in Progress
Watch members of the Lansei studio team brush silk, attach wire, trim petals, split embroidery thread and assemble flowers by hand.
Materials to Touch
Meet untwisted silk, embroidery thread, wooden rolling boards, copper wire and the wonderfully long scissors used in the Ronghua process.
A Place to Try
Join a workshop or stop by during selected demonstration sessions to experience part of the process yourself.
