In the wave of the digital age, the inheritance and innovation of traditional crafts are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. With the rapid development of technology, the Metaverse—a digital space integrating advanced technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D printing—has opened up new perspectives and platforms for the visualization of traditional craft education. This emerging field not only provides a more intuitive and vivid way to learn and disseminate traditional crafts but also stimulates unlimited possibilities for the inheritance of skills and cultural innovation. This study focuses on the metalworking techniques recorded in the Kaogong Ji (Classic of Crafts), such as bronze casting and gold and silver engraving, and explores how Metaverse technology can empower the visualization of ancient goldsmithing education. By constructing immersive virtual workshops, restoring cultural contexts, and employing user-driven educational strategies, the study aims to promote the digital inheritance and innovative application of goldsmithing crafts. Drawing on the methodology of digital media art design, the research proposes an educational approach that blends the virtual and the real, while balancing technological practice with cultural authenticity to analyze the potential and challenges of the Metaverse in traditional craft education.
