Shanghai-style Traditional Knob Course (Beginner) AC-02

Embroidery buttons are a traditional handicraft that has grown alongside the cheongsam, boasting a long history. Their characteristics lie in the balance of beauty and practicality, serving as a finishing touch. A beautifully crafted cheongsam, adorned with a pair of aesthetically pleasing artistic embroidered buttons, further enhances its noble and elegant temperament. The Shanghai-style Chinese buttons, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and vibrant colors, have always been shrouded in mystery, with the production process rarely made public. Old-school craftsmen rely entirely on oral traditions and what they see as the foundation for their learning. This course will explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way how to create a variety of artistic knots with auspicious meanings from a piece of fabric only an inch in size. This is a beginner course, focusing on recognizing tools, making paste, and tying knots. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to make small, single-color knots.
