"Jinkun Xinshe" was founded by Si Fangfang and Li Wen, who have converted a foreign-style house into a tranquil and elegant space to offer traditional handicraft courses such as bracelet making, rope braiding, incense crafting, and gold foil painting. The two close friends also host workshops on themes like Chinese classical studies, painting, and traditional Chinese accessories.
Frequenters of the studio, most of them youngsters, are allowed to immerse themselves in the traditional culture as a break from the hustle and bustle -- in other words, to "steal a half-day of leisure."
