3rd Saturday Lecture: The Beauty and Danger of Chinese Lacquer

On December 19th, Ray Menegus spoke about the processes involved in making objects with lacquer, a substance that was used to color, beautify, and protect screens, furniture, sculpture, bowls, etc. It could be carved, incised and inlaid. Mr. Menegus’ personal experience making a carved lacquer box showed us how difficult this technique is. Following Ray's presentation, commentary was provided by Andy Lu, who showed a number items made with lacquer and inlay techniques from his extensive collection. This program was produced by the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum in collaboration with the SDSU Chinese Cultural Center and hosted by the SDSU CCC Zoom meeting room.
