Baigongfang: Louvre, China Style
Visitors can even get involved in the making of the works they buy, under the
guidance of masters, according to Cui.
"We will spare no efforts to make Baigongfang a base of research and
development for China's arts and crafts," Cui said.
Zhang Tonglu, a cloisonne master, regards Baigongfang as his source of
inspiration.
"I can learn about the advantages of various categories and broaden my
artistic horizon by sharing views and experience with other masters," he said.
He believes that craftsmen gathering there will surely improve their skills
and quality.
"Baigongfang will also play a role in protecting and developing the
traditional arts and crafts, which can keep the industry prosperous from
generation to generation," he said. "That's the highest priority for the
old-generation craftsmen."
