2026_東京皮革工藝進修Part1

距離上次進修，時光荏苒一下就過了兩年。
2024_東京短期進修Part1
除了非常懷念那夢幻的工作室與親切又有耐心的老師之外，心裡一直期待能再次前往，仔細將這個作品完成。

這段期間自己經營的工作室也產生了一些變化，對我來說是一段不可或缺的沉澱期，讓自己稍事休息，充充電、轉換心情。今年利用春節假期，帶著未盡的夢想，再次前往東京。

第一天，從欣賞教室外櫻花樹上可愛的綠繡眼開始，迎接全心投入的充實課程^^
選擇好適合的包底芯材、喜歡的內裡顏色之後，為固定外框做前置準備。
在黏合醫生包的金屬外框之前，所有接合處的厚度，一樣不馬虎的做適當的削薄處理。
還好這兩年已經習慣使用裁皮刀，在老師的示範指導下，很快順利完成^^

外框固定好之後，整體的大致型態就出現了。難以言喻的興奮感～OMG!!!!

接下來，扣好前方的皮帶金屬，以便確定皮帶後側縫合的位置。
不過，就在此時發現了一個美麗的錯誤：不知道為什麼2年前皮帶的長度少算了5mm！

老師說：我們重新做一個吧！

於是我得到難能可貴的複習機會，重新製作了一條難度更高，厚度更符合比例,造型優雅的皮帶。
就說我是有幸運體質的人吧！（笑）

善解人意的老師知道我有養鳥，特地送了我一個可愛的小鴨造型調味罐～
超級開心～～看到就想到家裡的小鳥們～～謝謝老師

Two years have flown by since my last visit, but the memories of that dreamy studio and my kind, patient mentor never faded. I’ve been longing to return and finally complete this project.

The past two years have been a period of profound growth and reflection for my own studio—a necessary time to recharge and reset. Bringing my long-held dream back to life, I headed to Tokyo this Lunar New Year. 🌸

The first day started perfectly, spotting adorable Japanese white-eyes in the cherry blossom trees outside the studio. It was the perfect start to an incredibly fulfilling session.

From choosing the ideal base materials and inner lining to prepping the frame, every detail mattered. Under my teacher’s guidance, I focused on skiving the leather to the perfect thickness before setting the metal frame for my doctor’s bag. After 2 years of practice, being more comfortable with the skiving knife made the process so smooth! Seeing the silhouette finally come together—oh my god, the excitement was unreal! ✨

We ran into a “beautiful mistake” while attaching the straps: I’d miscalculated the length by 5mm two years ago! My teacher just smiled and said, “Let’s make a new one!” It turned out to be the perfect opportunity to level up—I crafted a more elegant, better-proportioned strap. I guess I really am a lucky person! (Haha) 🍀

Knowing how much I love birds, my teacher even gifted me this adorable duck-shaped condiment jar. It instantly reminds me of my little ones at home. Thank you, sensei, for everything! 🦆💛
