Taiwan Craft House - Chiao-Hsin 3D Embroidery Introduction
Craftsman: Hsu Chen-Chun "Embroidery" is a delicate craft rich in Eastern cultural atmosphere, and in traditional Chinese culture, embroidery is regarded as an essential skill for women. Master Hsu Chen-Chun has over sixty years of creative experience. From a young age, he learned many traditional crafts under his father's guidance. Fascinated by embroidery, he mastered various techniques such as flower embroidery, the art of three-inch golden lotus (a form of traditional foot binding), and intertwining spring flowers. He also self-taught the development of the "three-dimensional embroidery" technique, transforming traditional flat embroidery into vibrant, lifelike "three-dimensional embroidery," which has led to emerging handmade craft teachings and refined industries. Whether through his early expertise in flat embroidery or his self-created three-dimensional embroidery, his work is distinctive and full of creativity, earning him the title of "the first embroiderer of Lugang." Here, visitors can see stunning pieces such as the "belly wrap" worn by ancient beauties showcased in national folk talent activities, the lifelike sleeping assistant "tiger pillow," and various "fragrant sachets" worn during the Dragon Boat Festival, all rich in a nostalgic blend of ancient charm and modernity, definitely worth savoring during a visit.
