With the fast development of the digital era, many precious traditional crafts have died out and disappeared. However, more and more people today begin to recognize and reconsider the value of craft in contemporary society. This talk will firstly present Yinglong’s experience of visiting different minority areas in China to investigate the current state of traditional metal techniques and his international travelling and research activities. Then the making methods of two crafts, the traditional filigree technique and the rare enamelling technique plique-à-jour are further described, with his creative practice of employing these old crafts to make contemporary artworks. Finally, Yinglong’s experience on teaching and social public good further demonstrate the importance of promoting the younger generation to realise the value of intangible cultural heritages. After studying and practising for more than fifteen years in craft and design, Yinglong believes that the sustainability of traditional craft requires creative ideas, extensive physical practice with the material, and the investment of social education.
