This April 23rd a ceremony was held to receive a special donation to CIBL of precious handicrafts from prominent calligrapher and seal –cutting artist Ms Luo Pengpeng.
Before the donation ceremony, Ms Luo introduced Chinese seal-cutting art to students by showing them a magnificent documentary film combining elements of Chinese culture such as Guqin and Tea with seal cutting. She also designed Chinese signatures for all the students attending the ceremony.
The unique donations include a wood engraving which portrays Confucius dating back to the Ming dynasty, a hand-made bamboo book which collects famous sayings of traditional Chinese scholars like Confucius, Laozi and Mengzi, as well as Ms Luo's own seal-cutting collection.
Ms Luo devoted herself to promoting seal cutting art and was invited to London to attend the exhibition of Chinese seals and calligraphy at the Royal College of Art, which is one of the major events to take place during London Book Fair.
