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.”. The definitions vary. Our definition of a maker consists of the embodiment of craftsmanship's spirit, innovative ideas, and the core-values of creation. 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.
