Sugar is as sweet as it gets – or is it?
Imagine a lollipop made by hand to resemble your favorite cartoon character! Sweet! Come check out the sugar-sculpting talents of one of Taiwan’s premier sugar artists, in addition to world-famous hand puppet performances and colorful statues made of dough.
Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the U.S. (TECRO) is inviting kids ages one to one-hundred-and-one to join seven amazing traditional artists from Taiwan at the Fun Taiwan Folk Art Festival. The festivities kick off with a ribbon-cutting at the TECRO Cultural Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Kids and parents can watch these artists bring gourds to life with carvings and learn about Taiwan’s diverse cultures and about Taiwan’s vibrant folk art traditions!
While you are here, make sure not to miss out on the delicately-cut paper characters or the often surprising and always creative “recycled” art, which is made from tree bark and drinking straws.
Try a taste of Taiwan, to see how sweet life can be. What a toothsome way to spend a Friday!
Oh yeah, it’s FREE, too!
