Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, the traditional casting industry mainly produces copper or iron parts for machine components. Being the apprentice of Master Liu Wing Sheung, sculptor Fanson Lam hopes to bring copper casting to a new aesthetic level through the collaboration. He discusses the feasibility of his creative idea with Master Liu, who has over fifty years of experience. Harnessing his creativity as a sculptor, Fanson incorporates Master Liu’s traditional metal casting techniques into new designs. Through endless discussions and experimentations, their complementary skills continue to bring traditional metal casting techniques into contemporary objects in our daily lives.
