Bamboo Workshop

Conducting field surveys and disassembling bamboo artifacts by Tainan's three major bamboo masters—Mo Yung-chong, Weng Ming-hui, and Lu Ching-chih—as well as delving into the bamboo weaving craftsmanship of grandfathers and grandmothers in various households throughout Guanmiao and Longqi Districts, Bamboo Studio focuses on craft education with the hope that people can gain a deeper understanding of Tainan's bamboo art culture.

竹曰工坊以臺南地方竹編文化為核心,從田野、拆解與教學出發,讓竹材與竹工藝能自己說話,也讓更多人理解臺南竹藝的生活脈絡。

「材料很需要被解釋,而工藝師是讓材料能自己說話的人。」她是蔡惠婷,「竹曰工坊」(Bamboosays)創辦人,來自臺南,也深根臺南。

田野踏訪並拆解臺南三大竹藝師莫永崇、翁明輝、盧靖枝等人的竹器,深入關廟區與龍崎區兩地各家各戶阿公阿嬤的竹編工藝後,惠婷坦言,竹曰工坊比起設計當代的各類竹器,更聚焦在工藝教育。

工藝的設計,從竹料處理就已然開始。剖竹對於所有竹藝師而言都是最困難的工序,剖成的竹篾,不論寬度、厚度跟長度都影響成品的美感跟承重等成敗。

竹曰,白話一點,就是讓竹子自己說。竹子是乘載著臺南上百年文化的重要載體,從養殖漁業的魚籠、陣頭的盾,到慶典的龍首,竹子應用於臺南各地各族各行各業。

當代對工藝的需求一直都在,並不是東西老了就不好用,而是不一定要像以前那樣用。惠婷希望竹曰工坊作為一個以工藝教育為核心的工坊,能有機會讓不方便出門工作的人,也能在家裡從事創作。
