The Hong Kong Makers in Croxover series explores novel approaches to Hong Kong crafts and craftsmanship with Hong Kong makers. In definition, the word “Makers” not only means“a person that makes or produces something”, it also means "creator, constructor; producer; architect; designer; originator; inventor; founder; author, etc.”.

In developing interdisciplinary collaborations, co-creations, and a young talents nurturing program, we hope to reveal the creative spirit behind every maker in Hong Kong.
