This is my year 2 project in Lasalle. The project brief require us to choose a dying trade among our cultures to preserve. I chose to preserve the importance of traditional ornamental crafts as i felt that it is important for us to understand the different methods and history behind the exquisite ornaments. Due to the fast paced society that we are currently in, big machines and technology have mostly replaced the use of our hands. Thus, this book consist of the history of chinese traditional ornamental crafts.
