古漆新藝：漆扇工作坊
Reimagining Traditions:  Lacquer's Modern Odyssey on Fans

在中國，使用大漆工藝髹飾器物歷史悠久，源遠流長，早在新石器時代就已出現使用天然生漆塗飾器物的技術。隨著時間的推移，漆器逐漸發展成熟，是中國古代透過絲綢之路，途徑敦煌向外傳播輸出至西方的工藝品之一。

“漆扇” 的出現讓傳統大漆工藝煥發新生。利用 “漂漆” 技法和漆不溶於水的特性，以點、吹、彈、劃等手法，使色彩在水中交融彼變幻，形成獨特的紋理圖案，再暈染至扇面上，使每一把漆扇都成爲不可複製的 “孤品” ，既可日常使用，亦可視爲藝術品，更是文化傳承的載體。

漆扇的製作結合了創新理念，將傳統漆藝於紙質扇面重現，符合現代審美的同時又保留傳統韻味。適逢傳統文化月，工作坊旨在讓每位參與者認識並體驗非遺大漆工藝，感受實用和藝術的完美融合，共同扇動千年風雅。

工作坊時長30分鐘，具體內容包括 :   

• 介紹中國非物質文化遺產——大漆工藝
• “漂漆”技法示範
• 體驗及製作漆扇一把

In China, the use of lacquer art to decorate objects has a long history, dating back to the Neolithic period when the technique of using natural lacquer to decorate objects first appeared. Over time, lacquerware gradually matured and became one of the artisan products exported to the West through the Silk Road, passing through Dunhuang.

The emergence of "lacquer fans" has breathed new life into traditional lacquer craftsmanship. By utilizing the "floating lacquer" technique and the insolubility of lacquer in water, artisans blend colours in water with movements to form marbled patterns, which are then transferred to the fan surface. Each piece becomes an irreplicable "singular artifact." Lacquer fans combine the exquisite techniques of lacquer art with the practical function of fans, serving as both art pieces and vessels for cultural heritage. 

This is a Modern Odyssey of Lacquer, marrying innovation with tradition and reimagining classical techniques on paper fan surfaces. Launched during Traditional Culture Month, the workshop invites participants to explore and engage with intangible heritage—lacquer art. Through hands-on creation, attendees witness how utility and artistry converge, "fanning" the flames of a millennia-old cultural elegance. 

The workshop is 30 minutes long and includes the following activities:

• Introduction of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage—Chinese Lacquer Art
• Demonstration of the "Floating Lacquer" Technique
• Create a Lacquer Fan
