Chengdu Shu Brocade

Pattern design and skilled weaving lie behind Chengdu's Shu brocade. The loom offers a different view of the city through silk, colour and the coordination of its makers.

Pattern design and weaving work together to build a richly coloured silk surface. Following the maker's movements at the loom offers a different view of Chengdu's cultural life.
