Artisanate

DateTuesday, 19 November 2024
Word of the dayWin-win

The notice for the club's 951st meeting, themed 'Artisanate', invites members to discover the artist in themselves through patience, handmade work, and personal touch. It gives the theme in both English and Chinese but names no speakers.

Artisanate

Craftsmanship in Words and Hands

Meeting 951 brought the theme “Artisanate” to life in the most literal way. Christy delivered her icebreaker speech, “Opportunities favor those who are prepared,” winning warm praise from the audience.

A Hands-On Cultural Experience

Emma turned her Table Topics Master session into something far beyond the usual impromptu questions. She organized a hands-on intangible cultural heritage craft activity where members made lacquer fans. The activity tied beautifully into the Artisanate theme, giving everyone a taste of traditional craftsmanship.

来头马也太值了,还有DIY可以玩

We had a great time Tonight! Thanks for introducing such an interesting and engaging traditional culture experience!

Stepping Up

Candy managed the meeting as Meeting Manager for the first time, and when the Hark Master role opened up on the day of the meeting, she stepped in without hesitation. Josh ran a workshop alongside his Grammarian duties. Alison, who had just joined as a new member the day before, took on the GST role after a friendly round of role-swapping among members.
