Project Description: Since 1981, Chen Forng-Shean has studied tools, material, and skills in miniature carving in a self-taught way. In addition to miniatures, brick carving that integrates the beauty of calligraphy are also displayed in Chen Forng-Shean Miniature Art Museum. Self-made tools are provided for the public to experience brick carving. Upholding perseverance and passion, Mr. Chen has strived to promote miniature and brick carving, which makes the public attach importance to this traditional craft once again. Through this thematic study, we hope to share with more people the mystery of miniature carving and the beauty of brick carving and calligraphy.
