On Oct. 15,  Mr. Chen Shunde, a master of Wenzhou stone-carving,  shared his 50-year stone-carving story with Brett, a foreign anchor from South Africa. 


The technique of Wenzhou stone-carving has a long history. It is mainly made of high-quality pyrophyllite, with the characteristic of rich colors, strange patterns, wide varieties, waxy luster, and slipperiness.

Stone-carving artists are proficient in using different colors and shapes of stones and applying traditional techniques such as hollowing-out, embossment to carve out landscapes, figures, flowers, and animals. A small number of their works are exclusively for appreciation. Most of them are crafts and daily necessities which are widely used in our daily routines as vases, table lamps, cigarette holders, ink cartridges, fan pendants, etc.,  Displaying superb skills and strong local characteristics, Wenzhou stone-carving is deeply loved by domestic and foreign people.
