Reviving dough art with precision and passion

Wang Yuyu, a culinary arts teacher from Ningbo, revives the ancient craft of dough modeling, showcasing exceptional skill and perseverance. According to Wang, dough modeling shares certain techniques with fruit and vegetable carving, a connection that initially inspired him to explore this ancient art form. Without a genuine love for dough modeling, I wouldn't push myself to perfect every figurine," Wang admitted. "Even though people unfamiliar with dough modeling might not notice the differences between the versions, I can't allow any imperfection in my work," he said.
