Crafts on Peel is a charitable non-profit foundation with the mission to revive, reinterpret and perpetuate Hong Kong’s traditional craftsmanship. Incubated in 2017, we started with an aim to support craftsmen and artisans by providing them a platform for their creativity. Acting as a matchmaker, we foster dialogues and collaborations between traditional craftsmen and contemporary artisans domestically and internationally. Through crafts exchange, we create opportunities for skill and knowledge transfer to nurture the younger generation to incorporate traditional craft techniques into innovative contemporary design.
Ever since our official opening in 2020, Crafts on Peel has launched several local and international exhibitions, organised workshops in collaboration with our artisans, cultivated the Crafts Fellowship Programme and incubated numerous partnerships and collaborations that connect artisans globally. Crafts on Peel hopes to develop these programs to enhance the appreciation of craftsmanship, but also to show how traditional crafts can be juxtaposed with our modern lifestyles in a way that celebrates our cultural heritage.
We believe that the essence of craftsmanship lies in the hands. At the core of the concept of Crafts on Peel is the stories of our craftsmen. Our logo reflects our commitment to preserving our Chinese cultural heritage, which is composed of a pair of “hands” (手) in two Chinese characters – the fundamental tool for a craftsman. The hand character, together with its inverted mirrored image, combined to form the Chinese character “I” (我), which is the idea that each craft originates from the unique experiences of the craftsman. The two hands also symbolize the relationship between the craft master and his apprentice, as the skill is passed on from one generation to the next.
