Parent-Child Workshop: What’s in a Chinese Surname?

Tickets
Address
Contacts

Beyond just being a word in the dictionary, our surname provides us with clues to our ancestry and linkages to our family.

Through this fun activity-based parent-child workshop, participants will get a better understanding of what’s in a Chinese surname and start on their journey, digging deeper into their roots. They will also get to learn and experience string art making in this session.

Some parts of the workshop will require floor seating. Please dress comfortably for the programme.

Note: Part of this workshop includes a customised craft segment that requires each parent-child pair to submit a Chinese surname of their choice prior to the event day. Our friendly Esplanade staff will contact participants after tickets are purchased. As the artists require time to customise each artwork, we seek your understanding that participants who purchase tickets after 9 Sep, Thu, 6pm will receive a generic artwork with the character 家, meaning home instead.
