Lacquerware encompasses a variety of expressive forms, and even small differences in each step can greatly affect the final outcome. By participating in the lacquerware-making process, one can experience the craftsman's focus and dedication, leading to a greater appreciation for each vessel. It also provides an opportunity to return to the gilded ages of ancient craftsmanship through the medium of lacquer itself.
Nestled in the heart of Taichung City, Guangshan Journey features a modest space that showcases a few small pieces of lacquerware, while the central large table occupies most of the area. The owner and instructor, Mr. Lai Hsin-yu, explains that this space primarily focuses on experiential courses in lacquerware craftsmanship. The rear area serves as a studio for regular creations, and most of the finished products are sold through retail channels. Consequently, there are not many items left on-site. Therefore, friends interested in visiting are advised to make a reservation in advance, as there’s a possibility they may not gain entry otherwise.
