VIETSEEDS RISE - POONAH PAPER WORKSHOP FOR HANOI RISERS
Apr 26, 2023
On Sunday morning (April 23), VietSeeds successfully organized a workshop about Poonah paper with the companionship and support of Touching Store and Happy Studio Cafe. Under the guidance of Ms. Le Hong Ky - the founder of Touching Store, more than 15 students had the opportunity to learn and practice making handmade products with Poonah paper.
During the workshop, students were introduced to the history, materials and production process of this type of paper. Besides, students were also provided with basic knowledge about Poonah paper such as its characteristics and its applications in folk handicraft products such as Dong Ho paintings as well as modern products such as gift boxes, lanterns, cards and so on.
The most special feature of the workshop was that students could create their own products such as notebooks and earrings. With their creativity and excitement, students were able to create numerous unique and eye-catching products. That was truly a valuable opportunity to help forge a bond between today's young generation and traditional Vietnamese handicraft products. VietSeeds hopes that the knowledge and experience that our students have learned will continue to be applied and developed in the future.
