The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, London (London ETO), is supporting Crafts on Peel, a charitable organisation of Hong Kong, in its participation at London Craft Week 2025, presenting the "Embracing Craft, Connecting Culture" exhibition in London.

     The exhibition brings together artisans from Hong Kong and around the world to collaborate and co-create across a variety of mediums and forms, fostering creative dialogue and cultural exchange.

     Speaking at the exhibition's opening reception on May 12 (London time), the Director-General of the London ETO, Miss Fiona Chau, welcomed the opportunity to once again support Crafts on Peel's participation in London Craft Week. She remarked, "This exhibition underlines Hong Kong's position as a centre for international cultural exchange and reflects its spirit in honouring traditions while embracing innovation."

     Miss Chau expressed her hope that the exhibition would offer audiences a fresh perspective on Hong Kong and encouraged them to visit the city and experience its vibrant arts and cultural scene first-hand.
     
     The "Embracing Craft, Connecting Culture" exhibition is being held at the Royal Society of Sculptors (108 Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RA) from May 12 to 18.  On May 17, Hong Kong artisans will host Lingnan Penjing demonstration and panel discussion.
