Off-Site Conversations and Tours—Yuet Tung China Works
This new series at M+ features conversations between M+ curators and four local partners, including Yuet Tung China Works.
Yuet Tung China Works is the oldest hand-painted porcelain factory in Hong Kong. Previously known as Kam Wah Loong in 1928 in Kowloon City, Yuet Tung has been passed down through four generations, witnessing the history of porcelain. Only Yuet Tung remains in Hong Kong and maintains its porcelain production fired in its own kiln in this day, adopting new techniques in lieu of hand painting for mass production, knowing as ‘Hong Kong ware’.
The conversation will be facilitated by Christine Lee, Curatorial Assistant, Design and Architecture of M+. The English session will be facilitated by Mandy Wong, Curatorial Assistant, Learning and Interpretation of M+.
