The show is open to the public, free of charge, in the Team Building on the Mong-H\u00e1 Campus.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cCloisonn\u00e9 Artworks \u2013 Art Exhibition by Lei Sio Fan and His Students\u201d event was formally opened on 9 July. It displays a selection of 54 hand-made art pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Cloisonn\u00e9 craftspeople use gold wire, rough-cut stones and other brightly coloured materials to make works of art. The pieces on show at IFTM are creative combinations of traditional craftsmanship and modern art.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lei has been teaching courses in the craft of cloisonn\u00e9 at IFTM for several years. He says the exhibition further promotes the art form in Macao.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough hosting this type of event, we pass on this traditional art technique, as well as help modernise it, helping cultural diversification in Macao,\u201d Mr. Lei says.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lei is President of the Macao Society for Education in Art. He studied the craft of cloisonn\u00e9 in Guangzhou, in the neighbouring province of Guangdong.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lei commends the work of his students: \u201cI can see that they\u2019ve really put effort into it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition shows work by several batches of students taking the cloisonn\u00e9 course at IFTM. The course was first taught in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Vice-Director of the IFTM School of Continuing Education Dr. Cora Wong Un In says the cloisonn\u00e9 course and the exhibition are part of a wider effort by the Institute to support the development of cultural and creative industries in Macao, to help make the economy more diverse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIFTM provides educational resources and opens courses to help in talent cultivation,\u201d she says. \u201cTo achieve economic diversification, talent is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IFTM School of Continuing Education offers courses in creative accomplishments other than the craft of cloisonn\u00e9. Those range from abstract painting to classical painting in oils, to photography, to Chinese calligraphy.<\/p>\n<p>IFTM also makes regular contributions to culture and the arts in Macao by holding exhibitions on the Mong-H\u00e1 Campus. Admission is free for all. Some show the work of Macao artists that teach at the IFTM School of Continuing Education, and the work of the students they teach.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Wong says the holding at IFTM in 2020 of various exhibitions and other art events had to be suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cAs the situation is more stable now, we are in full gear to host exhibitions,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The School of Continuing Education is also coming up with new programmes, Dr. Wong says. \u201cWe are trying to provide more diversified courses,\u201d she states. One new course due to be started soon focuses on \u2018L\u2019ecrin Flower\u2019, an art form that uses flowers specially dried to preserve their colour and shape, arranging them in display boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IFTM School of Continuing Education is holding until 8 October an exhibition of cloisonn\u00e9 works of art by IFTM Instructor Mr. Lei Sio Fan and his students.
