KUCHING: For Ronny Chin, making lion heads is not just about creating works of art but preser­ving a Chinese cultural tradition. He learnt the art as a teenager, spurred by his interest in lion dance and the costumes donned by performers. “My father was in a lion dance association and I used to join him in performances. “I’m now training young people to make lion heads so that more Sarawakians can master this craft. For example, lion dance troupes will order high-spec lion heads for competitions.
