"People’s Artisan" and "Meritorious Artisan" titles will be awarded to outstanding craftsmen for the first time at a ceremony schedule to be held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Hanoi on August 26.
Ngo Quang Trung, Head of the Agency for Regional Industry Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade revealed at a press conference on August 19 that 16 outstanding craftsmen will be honoured with the "People’s Artisan" titles and 84 others will receive "Meritorious Artisan" titles.
The artisans, who come from 21 cities and provinces across the country, have worked for a long time in many traditional crafts, including embroidery, pottery, silk flower making, wood and stone sculpture, silver carving, Dong Ho folk painting making, and bamboo and rattan product making.
The titles are awarded to honour craftspeople who have made significant contributions to safeguarding and promoting their ancestors’ traditional crafts and handing down the practices to younger generations.
The craftsmen are also acknowledged for developing a brand for Vietnamese traditional handicraft products and making it more popular to the world.
On the occasion, a handicraft exhibition will be organised from August 26-29 at the Thang Long Hanoi Heritage Preservation Centre featuring 200 booths of 100% made-in-Vietnam traditional handicraft products such as rattan, embroidery, silk and porcelain items.
