CRAFTING LIVE：Burmese Lacquer Making Live Demonstration by Bagan House & Experience Session 緬甸蒲甘
Did you know? In traditional Burmese lacquerware making, decoration is done by etching with free hands, entirely of memory and experience, using a stylet. Although Myanmar acquired the technique of making lacquer from its neighbours, the subsequent development of design motifs is quite unique. These motifs draw their inspiration from enthralled reservoir of Buddhist mythology and Burmese folklore. 傳統緬甸漆藝知多少？工匠採用鋒如刺針的小刀，全靠記憶和經驗剔出圖案。儘管緬甸從鄰國傳來製作漆器的技術，但其圖案設計卻非常獨特。 這些圖案多從佛教神話和緬甸民間傳說中汲取靈感。
