Macao. In addition, the exhibition is
loaning four of its feature works to the
Macao Museum of Art until Oct. 8 for display
at Art Macao’s main exhibition.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands
China Ltd., said: “After holding
successful masterclasses for university
art students in June, Sands China is
delighted to now use the opportunity
provided by our ceramics exhibition to
hold this workshop featuring ceramic
experts from Jingdezhen and Dali. It’s a
rare opportunity to see these artisans
demonstrate their skills live, and we
hope local and visiting families can
visit the exhibition and experience this
unique workshop in the setting of an
integrated resort. We hope this
exhibition and workshop help popularise
ceramic art in Macao and foster a rich
artistic environment in the city, in
support of Art Macao.”
