From September 29 to October 2, 2024, the International Wood Culture Society was invited to host the Wood Culture Experience Hall during the 18th Cross-Strait (Putian) Craft Expo. This event, themed "Diversity of Wood in Culture," included exhibitions and experiences on topics such as wood knowledge, wood with clothing, food, housing, transportation and entertainment, wood art, and a small woodworking workshop. Among these, the wood art section showcased wood carvings from 16 countries along the Silk Road, reflecting the history, culture, and art of different nations. It also featured Chinese wood carving works with "loong" elements as a theme, created by Chinese wood artists.
In the Wood Culture Experience Hall, through hands-on participation and immersive activities, the audience is no longer just a spectator. They are encouraged to spark their own creativity and take home a unique emotional experience. Wood is a recyclable, renewable, and durable environmentally friendly material. The International Wood Culture Society hopes that through such an experience hall, it can inspire a love for wood and promote the responsible use of wood and forests.
