Workshop Of Wutongzouyin

Wutongzouyin is another distinctive bronze handicraft in Yunnan Province.
 It was first manufactured in Shiping County.

Bronze is used as the background on which various intaglio patterns are
carved. Silver or gold is melted to fill the intaglio patterns. When the
silver or gold stuffing cools down, the whole piece of work will be further
 polished and treated chemically. The final product-patterns appear silvery
 or golden in sharp contrast with the bronze background; and the whole piece
of work gives a decorative effect with classic elegance. Silver and bronze
 are the major materials for making this kind of handicraft, so it is
vividly called "Wu Tong Zou Yin" which in Chinese means "silvery patterns
on black bronze".

The Workshop of Wutongzouyin was opened in 2009 in Guandu Ancient Town of
 Kunming. Aimed to showcase the history, making process, inheritance,
traditional processing tools and masterpieces etc, the workshop gives
priority to the traditional “handmade” of Wutongzouyin.
