Nan Fung Group’s ‘In Time of Weaving Festival’ returns for its second edition this year, themed after ‘Conversing with Emotions’. Last year’s festival attracted more than 15,000 participants, so knitting enthusiasts can expect this edition to be even bigger and better.
To promote the craft of textiles, this event will gather 20 weaving organisations from Hong Kong to host more than 20 workshops and experiences, where festival-goers can check out embroidery, rattan weaving, fabric weaving, screen printing, natural dyes, and other types of textile art-related activities. There’s nothing quite like the meditative process of making something with your own hands, especially in modern-day society where it’s hard to slow down.
If you’re not too crafty, there is also a marketplace with around 40 booths filled with embroidery- and weaving-related products, as well as a second-hand clothing flea market. Spend over $200 among the booths to redeem a limited-edition omamori charm exclusive to this festival.
Head to The Mills in Tsuen Wan from May 24 to 25 to check out the stalls, join a couple of workshops, and perhaps pick up a new hobby.
