2024_東京短期進修Part2
皮刀研磨的前置準備好之後,第3天我們進入提把的製作。
前一晚的作業,老師請我把希望製作的包包尺寸先描繪好草稿。
當天我們再依據包身的比例決定提把的尺寸。

這款提把是這個口金包的精髓,也是我夢寐以求渴望學習的項目。又花了3天的時間才製作完成:
提把的內芯由合計共13片的頭層皮革堆疊而成,接著使用裁皮刀以全手工的方式一刀一刀將左右兩側
緩慢地雕塑出對稱的半圓弧度。
看老師示範第一側時,我先是看傻了眼,接著就沉醉在眼前這一連串行雲流水的動作中,大約不到一個小時老師就完成了。
輪到我的時候我才醒過來,完全不知道該從哪裡下手。
擔心一不小心就毀掉了成品,非常緊張。
因此只能龜速進行,並嘗試在腦中拆解合理的操作步驟,但是花了兩個半小時的時間還是無法搞定,最後在老師的巧手協助之下才總算完成。
雖然是陳腔濫調,追求進步沒有捷徑,只有不間斷的練習,熟能生巧是唯一的路。
這次能帶著完整的提把回來,真心感到滿足。
After preparing the leather knife grinding, we started making the handle on the third day.
The night before, teacher asked me to sketch the dimensions of the bag I wanted to make.
On that day, we determined the size of the handle based on the proportions of the bag body.
This handle is the essence of this metal frame bag and the project I eagerly desired to learn. It took another three days to complete:
The inner core of the handle is stacked with a total of 13 layers of top layer leather.
Then, using a leather knife, the symmetrical curvature is slowly sculpted, one side at a time, entirely by hand. When I watched the teacher demonstrate the first side, I was initially stunned, then immersed in the fluid sequence of actions before me.
In about an hour, teacher completed it.
When it was my turn, I woke up to the reality of not knowing where to start, fearing I might ruin the final product and feeling extremely nervous. I had to proceed slowly, attempting to mentally deconstruct the logical steps, but even after two or three hours, I couldn‘t manage it.
Finally, with the skilled assistance of teacher, I managed to complete it.
Though it’s cliché, there‘s no shortcut to progress, only continuous practice, and skill comes with experience. Bringing back the complete handle this time, I genuinely feel satisfied.

心裡悄悄話>>
沒想到還能有機會在海外進行人生第一次的短期留學,雖然時間不長,也算是解鎖了某項成就。
坂本龍一:「因為不知生命何時將盡,我們總以為人生是一口永不乾涸的井,但所有事情都是有限的。」「一生中,你還能遙望幾次滿月升起,也許只有 20 次,然而我們卻覺得這些都是無窮無盡。」
有些放在心裡的念頭,如果不刻意執行,就一輩子錯過。

獨自一人在異國的感覺很奇妙,
如果是年輕10歲的我,或許會感到孤獨,因此選在這個時候剛好,能充分享受這樣的自由。
與家人好友共遊,能有一起歡笑分享快樂的對象,獨自一人旅行,最好的朋友就是自己。
可以回到像小孩一樣的年紀睜開好奇的眼睛,肆無忌憚體驗新鮮的事。

白天在夢幻職人的工作室學習,
晚上在飯店一邊馬殺雞(誒~)一邊做功課,果然喜歡的事,不管在哪裡都能感到幸福。
