From hands to soul

In this social entrepreneurship venture, I aimed to make traditional craft of woodblock printing from a northern Vietnamese village more accessible to younger generations. The result of this project is INGO - a fun and educational do-it-yourself kit that enables children to experience the 500-year-old art of woodblock prints practised by Dong Ho villagers. My intention from the outset is to work with village artisans to provide all materials and instructions necessary for children aged 6-10 to make beautiful prints in a classroom with their teachers or at home with their parents.

In creating modern educational values out of the age-old craft, we aim to preserve our traditional printmaking techniques and to secure a sustainable future for our artisans.
