Art & Culture

This show capped a busy day, packed with museum visits and a hands-on notebook-making workshop in Changzhou’s factory-cum-creative-district, Canal 5 for the Israeli students. This trip marked Ort Yigal Alon’s first to China, as well as a brand-new school partner—Changzhou No. 1 High School—which they were scheduled to visit the following day.

ohn “Coach LoVE” Solet spends much of his days surrounded by bright, colorful foam-filled equipment in Inspire Sports’ Changzhou-based gym where he works as a gymnastics coach to kids and adults and trainer to other coaches, so it was surprising to learn Mr. Solet was working on forging an artist co-op.

Since opening Show House in 2014, Cecilia Wu has been on a mission to bring the high art of Changzhou Free Stitch embroidery into the daily lives of ordinary people. 自2014年Show House开业以来，吴澄一直希望将曲高和寡的常州乱针绣带入寻常百姓人家。
