Lee’s art follows handmade tradition
Lee is walking the path of culture. During her trip to Beijing this November, she made time to visit the Great Wall, the Winter Palace, and of course the Forbidden City. She said the beauty of the city fascinated her. “I love the idea here in Beijing you can actually witness part of this incredible history and culture,” she said. Not surprisingly, lee’s hand-makes every product to pass on traditional craftsmanship.
Friends claims such a tradition follows the intent of the family’s goldsmithing legacy. “For over 20 years, we’ve been making our products this way. And with new generations coming onboard and reproducing the techniques of the old days, mixing with more modern technologies and so on, we are very proud,” lee said.
She insists the human eye can see the difference between handmade and machine-made products, and added handmade products have soul and emotion. “What we absolutely love is every single product made by hand is slightly different than the other, because it’s not coming from the mold, but is a piece of unique work a from an independent person,” lee said. “The process of hand-making gives additional value to the products, because people can feel and own the uniqueness.”
