HKRI Care & Share, HKR International Limited’s (“HKRI”) corporate volunteer team, together with Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (“HKYAF”), organised a silk-screen printing workshop for over 30 underprivileged children and teenagers serviced by International Social Service (Hong Kong Branch) (“ISS Hong Kong”) on 27 August 2016 (Saturday). It was a great opportunity for the participants, aged between 7 and 16, to learn about silk-screen printing and unleashed their creativity towards the end of the summer vacation. 

 

Ms. Castaly Leung, artist from HKYAF, was invited to give an introduction on various printmaking techniques and to demonstrate the silk-screen printing procedures to all the participants. Volunteers then assisted the participants to try their hands at creating their own pieces of pop art. The vibrant and colourful pieces were indeed manifestations of the strong creativity and great artistry of the participants. HKRI Care & Share have also packed goodie bags with stationery to get them ready for the new study term.
