Today is our final Chinese Teahouse of the semester, featuring a hands-on experience of making Chinese knots, led by Cao Laoshi🧧

We began with a brief introduction to the history and cultural meanings behind Chinese knots, and then moved into creating our own.

Students followed step by step and turned simple strings into beautiful patterns. It was great to see everyone so focused and engaged throughout the process. At the end, everyone proudly shared their finished pieces, and each one was unique in its own way.

Thank you to all the teachers and students who joined us this semester. We truly enjoyed spending these moments together and hope to see you again at future events!
