Painters in China traditionally use solid ink sticks instead of liquid ink. These ink sticks are still often made by artisans who spend more than a year collecting ash, pounding, moulding, and painting each bar by hand.

This is the third episode of our “Artisans” series, where we explore China’s rich art history and its dedicated creators.
