陶錫工藝是一個立足於花蓮、融合陶與錫兩種媒材的工藝品牌，關注自然、人與土地之間的連結。我們從日常生活出發，創作出兼具實用與美感的器物，讓工藝成為生活中可被使用、細細體會的風景。
Taoxi Craft is a Hualien-based brand that mixes the mediums of ceramics and pewter, focusing on the connections between nature, people, and the land. Developing inspiration from everyday life, we create functional yet beautiful objects, transforming craftsmanship into a scenic element of daily life—one that can be used and deeply appreciated.
您希望觀眾在作品前感受到什麼？或帶著什麼問題離開展場？
What do you hope audiences will feel in front of the work, or what questions do you hope they will leave the exhibition with?
希望觀眾在《縱谷盛宴》中，能感受到一股即將出餐，共同饗宴的氛圍。透過極長的長桌，由來自土地的陶、以表現自然肌理的錫，以及縱谷山林溪水和鳴的編織，集體沉靜交錯佈局，讓觀者彷彿置身於縱谷光影之中，感受工藝器物齊聚如劇場般的往來、喧囂、豐盛。提問：在數位資訊化的快時空對話環境裏，我們該如何重新定義日常物件的生命力？當我們使用一件承載花蓮土地記憶與地質歲月的器物時，是否也能重新召喚我們對自然與生命的敬畏之心？
Feast of Nature, I hope viewers sense the anticipation of a shared meal about to begin. Along an extended table, ceramics drawn from the land, tin expressing natural textures, and woven forms inspired by the mountains and streams of the valley come together in a quiet yet theatrical composition. I hope viewers ask: In today’s fast-paced digital world, how might we redefine the vitality of everyday objects? When we use an object carrying memories of Hualien’s land and geological time, can it also renew our sense of respect for nature and life?
為什麼選擇透過工藝或手作技法來表現這個議題，而不是使用其他創作形式？
Why did you choose craft and handmaking techniques to address this issue, rather than other forms of artistic expression?
工藝具有當代裝置藝術或數位媒體無法替代的「物質性」（Materiality）與「身體臨場感」（Physical Presence）。陶藝：是縱谷大地的直接延伸，承載著花蓮風土地質演變與生息運作的記憶，具有極強的原生能量與時間感。錫藝：具備獨特的柔軟度與溫潤光澤，透過敲擊鍛打的錘紋，紀錄創作過程裏身體律動的物質化凝固。編織：手工的交織再加上時間維度的承載，累積成一片片的縱谷山林、溪水，柔軟的延伸觸動，形成安靜自然的存在感。相較於視覺觀賞型的藝術形式，工藝器物具備「觸覺性」與「日常使用性」。它能突破美術館玻璃櫃的距離感，走入人類最私密的日常生活經驗。可被觸摸、可被使用、隨歲月磨損的特質，讓工藝成為傳遞花蓮風土記憶與當代人文思維最深刻的載體。
Craft offers a sense of “materiality” and “physical presence” that installation art or digital media cannot replace. Ceramics extend directly from the land of the valley, carrying memories of Hualien’s geology and environment; tin records the maker’s bodily rhythm through its soft sheen and hammered surface; and weaving accumulates time through handwork, evoking the valley’s mountains and streams. Unlike purely visual forms of art, craft can be touched, used, and worn over time. By entering everyday life, it becomes a powerful medium for carrying Hualien’s local memory and contemporary cultural thought.
當傳統文化、地方記憶或環境議題逐漸被淡忘時，您認為藝術與工藝能扮演什麼樣的角色？
As traditional culture, local memories, or environmental issues fade, what role can art and craft play?
藝術與工藝在此扮演的是「當代文化轉譯者」與「生活記憶載體」的角色。透過現代視覺語彙與跨媒材（陶、錫、編織）結合，我們能將原本沉重或傳統的技藝轉化為符合當代審美的生活器物。工藝不應是被封存於歷史博物館的標本，而是應該透過創作重新進入現代人的餐桌。《縱谷盛宴》中工藝品成為一種微型的地方誌（Micro-localism）。使用者在每一次觸碰與使用中，都在無形中完成了對花蓮土地記憶與自然環境的當代認同。
Art and craft can serve as “contemporary cultural translators” and “carriers of everyday memory.” By combining contemporary visual language with ceramics, tin, and weaving, traditional techniques can be transformed into objects suited to modern life. Craft should not remain a museum specimen, but return to the everyday table. Feast of Nature, each object becomes a form of micro-localism, allowing people to reconnect with Hualien’s land, memory, and natural environment through touch and use.
在製作過程中，最考驗工藝經驗的是哪個環節？
How do these craft-based processes respond to the cultural memory and ecological perspectives explored in the work?
異材質之間的搭配與材質極限與結構精密度上的跨界融合。陶、錫與編織三種完全不同物理特性在硬、軟、金屬元素中媒材在視覺與結構上完美接合、相輔相成，極度考驗工藝師對材料特性的深刻洞察、長期鍛打研磨累積的肌肉記憶，以及對整體美學比例的掌控力。
The greatest challenge lies in combining different materials while balancing their physical limits and structural precision. Ceramics, tin, and weaving have very different properties, yet they must work together visually and structurally. This requires a deep understanding of materials, muscle memory developed through years of making, and careful control of overall proportion and aesthetics.
您認為一般民眾可以透過哪些方式，在日常生活中支持工藝文化的發展？
How can the general public support the development of craft culture in everyday life?
(1)建立「物件倫理」與永續消費觀：在日常生活中減少一次性與工業化大量複製品的消費，轉而收藏並使用具備手感溫度與在地質地的工藝器物，讓工藝品成為陪伴生活的長久選擇。(2)參與在地工藝體驗：親身走進花蓮的工藝據點，參與體驗課程，理解每一件工藝創作背後所凝聚的時間、工序與職人精神。(3)支持在地工藝創作：關注並支持花蓮在地傳統技藝，讓工藝生態系能在花蓮這片土地上獲得持續創作與演進的養分。
There are several ways to support craft culture in daily life: (1) develop a more sustainable relationship with objects by choosing durable, locally made craft over disposable or mass-produced goods; (2) take part in local craft experiences to understand the time, processes, and skills behind each work; and (3) support Hualien’s local craftspeople and traditional techniques so that the region’s craft ecosystem can continue to grow and evolve.
