SUMMARY:Live Artist Demo by Joshua Sin: Soft Guardian No. 2
DESCRIPTION:Fridays in October 2026 | 2:00-4:00 PM | Free with admission or membership \n\n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nArtist Bio\n\n\n\nAdmission\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\nExperience Overview\n\n\n\nAs part of the Lion Reborn exhibition\, Portland artist Joshua Sin invites visitors into his process every Friday in October from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Watch as he builds a traditional Chinese lion head from scratch\, right inside the garden. The same craft behind the suspended lion presiding overhead in the Scholar’s Study\, brought to life before your eyes.  \n\n\n\nDrawing on the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lion dance craft\, a tradition currently nominated for UNESCO recognition\, Sin demonstrates the ancestral techniques of bending and weaving bamboo and rattan\, layering it with reclaimed and festive materials by hand. Don’t miss this rare and intimate encounter with a living cultural tradition! All ages welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin is a Toronto-born\, Portland-based sculptor and installation artist. A former world champion gymnast\, he brings a lifelong discipline of repetition and precision to his work. After years in corporate design\, including Nike’s retail concept stores in Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Berlin\, Sin left the industry to pursue art independently. A residency with GLEAN and Recology\, working inside Portland’s Northwest Transfer Station\, reshaped his understanding of material. His ongoing Descendant Series\, rooted in a centuries-old family ancestral book\, reconstructs erased histories through reclaimed textiles. His work has been exhibited at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the Portland Chinatown Museum.  \n\n\n\nInstagram | Website \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the Exhibit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLan Su Members \n\n\n\nPlus eligible guests (Learn more) \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdults \n\n\n\nAges 19-61 \n\n\n\n\n$18.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeniors & Students \n\n\n\nAges 62+ and students 18+ with ID \n\n\n\n\n$17.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth \n\n\n\nAges 6-18 \n\n\n\n\n$15.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChild \n\n\n\nAges 5 & under \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\nLooking for additional discounts?

While he used to compete in both forms and Push-Hands\, Myk now focuses more time on teaching. His teaching style is student-centered and is focused on achieving a balance between the meditative and martial aspects of the forms. Myk also teaches a Tai Chi class specifically geared toward those with mobility and balance issues on Sunday afternoon. \n\n\n\nJoel\, Instructor\n\n\n\nA lifetime student of martial arts\, Joel has been training Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi since 1999 and teaching since 2009.

SUMMARY:Live Artist Demo by Joshua Sin: Soft Guardian No. 2
DESCRIPTION:Fridays in October 2026 | 2:00-4:00 PM | Free with admission or membership \n\n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nArtist Bio\n\n\n\nAdmission\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\nExperience Overview\n\n\n\nAs part of the Lion Reborn exhibition\, Portland artist Joshua Sin invites visitors into his process every Friday in October from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Watch as he builds a traditional Chinese lion head from scratch\, right inside the garden. The same craft behind the suspended lion presiding overhead in the Scholar’s Study\, brought to life before your eyes.  \n\n\n\nDrawing on the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lion dance craft\, a tradition currently nominated for UNESCO recognition\, Sin demonstrates the ancestral techniques of bending and weaving bamboo and rattan\, layering it with reclaimed and festive materials by hand. Don’t miss this rare and intimate encounter with a living cultural tradition! All ages welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin is a Toronto-born\, Portland-based sculptor and installation artist. A former world champion gymnast\, he brings a lifelong discipline of repetition and precision to his work. After years in corporate design\, including Nike’s retail concept stores in Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Berlin\, Sin left the industry to pursue art independently. A residency with GLEAN and Recology\, working inside Portland’s Northwest Transfer Station\, reshaped his understanding of material. His ongoing Descendant Series\, rooted in a centuries-old family ancestral book\, reconstructs erased histories through reclaimed textiles. His work has been exhibited at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the Portland Chinatown Museum.  \n\n\n\nInstagram | Website \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the Exhibit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLan Su Members \n\n\n\nPlus eligible guests (Learn more) \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdults \n\n\n\nAges 19-61 \n\n\n\n\n$18.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeniors & Students \n\n\n\nAges 62+ and students 18+ with ID \n\n\n\n\n$17.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth \n\n\n\nAges 6-18 \n\n\n\n\n$15.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChild \n\n\n\nAges 5 & under \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\nLooking for additional discounts?

SUMMARY:Live Artist Demo by Joshua Sin: Soft Guardian No. 2
DESCRIPTION:Fridays in October 2026 | 2:00-4:00 PM | Free with admission or membership \n\n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nArtist Bio\n\n\n\nAdmission\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\nExperience Overview\n\n\n\nAs part of the Lion Reborn exhibition\, Portland artist Joshua Sin invites visitors into his process every Friday in October from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Watch as he builds a traditional Chinese lion head from scratch\, right inside the garden. The same craft behind the suspended lion presiding overhead in the Scholar’s Study\, brought to life before your eyes.  \n\n\n\nDrawing on the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lion dance craft\, a tradition currently nominated for UNESCO recognition\, Sin demonstrates the ancestral techniques of bending and weaving bamboo and rattan\, layering it with reclaimed and festive materials by hand. Don’t miss this rare and intimate encounter with a living cultural tradition! All ages welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin\n\n\n\nJoshua Sin is a Toronto-born\, Portland-based sculptor and installation artist. A former world champion gymnast\, he brings a lifelong discipline of repetition and precision to his work. After years in corporate design\, including Nike’s retail concept stores in Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Berlin\, Sin left the industry to pursue art independently. A residency with GLEAN and Recology\, working inside Portland’s Northwest Transfer Station\, reshaped his understanding of material. His ongoing Descendant Series\, rooted in a centuries-old family ancestral book\, reconstructs erased histories through reclaimed textiles. His work has been exhibited at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the Portland Chinatown Museum.  \n\n\n\nInstagram | Website \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the Exhibit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLan Su Members \n\n\n\nPlus eligible guests (Learn more) \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdults \n\n\n\nAges 19-61 \n\n\n\n\n$18.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeniors & Students \n\n\n\nAges 62+ and students 18+ with ID \n\n\n\n\n$17.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth \n\n\n\nAges 6-18 \n\n\n\n\n$15.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChild \n\n\n\nAges 5 & under \n\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\nLooking for additional discounts?
