À propos

Hilda Shangotola of Fruit Art School in Regina will demo a participatory workshop on fruit carving. Fruit carving has cultural roots in many Asian countries, including Thailand, China, Japan and Vietnam. It is often used in festivals, weddings, and other celebrations as a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and abundance. In Thailand, fruit carving is considered a highly respected art form and is formally taught in schools, and used in religious ceremonies as an offering to monks. Hilda will demo then work with participants the foundational elements and tools for carving watermelons, apples, mangos, cantaloupes and kiwis.
