Rooted in Hida｜從飛驒出發
In Hida, forests have shaped both craftsmanship and local life. Seasonal changes, natural resources, and generations of expertise guide how artisans work, revealing the lasting connections between people and their surroundings.
在飛驒，森林形塑了工藝，也影響地方生活。四季的氣候牽動製作節奏，職人則憑藉世代累積的技藝，調整每一道工序。一件作品的誕生，來自人、木材與環境之間持續的對話。
Making with Nature｜與自然共同創作
Following wood from its source to the workshop, participants learn how artisans respond to different properties and practical constraints. Hands-on exercises encourage them to test ideas, refine forms, and make choices based on real conditions.
循著木材從產地進入工坊，了解職人如何因應材質差異與製作限制，再從實際操作檢視自己的構想。學習在造形、功能及使用需求之間作出取捨，建立更具依據的設計思維。
Forest Craft
Finding Inspiration in Nature
Beginning in Hida’s forests, participants discover the colors, textures, and forms of their surroundings. Selected leaves and branches are arranged in transparent resin, turning small discoveries into personal objects that reflect each individual’s perspective.
森林採集：從自然尋找靈感
從飛驒的森林出發，留意葉片、枝條的色彩與紋理，挑選觸動自己的自然元素。藉由排列、層次及留白，結合透明樹脂製作個人作品，將沿途的發現化為具體的紀念。
Forest Gathering
Leaves, branches, and natural details offer inspiration through their colors, textures, and forms.
森林採集
沿途留意葉片、枝條的色彩與紋理，從自然細節中尋找靈感。
Material Selection

視覺構成
將自然元素融入透明樹脂，藉由排列、層次與留白，形成獨有的視覺構成。
Personal Symbols
Carving a Mark of Your Own
Letters and symbols with personal meaning become the starting points for woodworking. Guided by artisans, participants carve and refine their designs, learning how lines, proportions, and thickness affect the final form.
專屬符號：將個人印記化為立體
從具有個人意義的字母或符號出發，將平面圖形轉化為立體木作。在職人的引導下，練習切削與打磨，掌握線條、比例及厚度的變化，完成代表自己的獨特印記。
Wooden Forms
Familiar letters and symbols take shape through carving and refinement.
木作造形
從字母或符號的輪廓出發，逐步製作具有厚度的立體形態。
Carving Practice
Tools, wood grain, and hand pressure influence each cut.
切削練習
熟悉刀具、木紋及施力方式，理解不同操作對成品的影響。
Surface Details
Sanding and finishing bring definition and texture to each piece.
表面細節
藉由打磨與細節修整，呈現木質觸感及清晰的邊緣。
Everyday Objects
Shaping Form Around Use
Participants design wooden utensils based on their own dining habits. From selecting wood to shaping and finishing, they consider how weight, grip, and edges affect comfort. Repeated testing helps turn familiar movements into practical design decisions.
生活器物：讓造形回應使用
從個人的用餐習慣出發，製作適合自己使用的木作餐具。經歷選材、修形與細緻打磨，理解重量、握感及邊緣處理的重要性，並在反覆試用中調整細節，兼顧美感與實用。
Everyday Gestures
Familiar hand movements reveal what makes an object comfortable to use.
日常動作
從慣常的握持方式，找出影響操作感受的細微差異。
Wood Character
Grain, weight, and texture guide the shaping of each utensil.
木材特性
依據木紋、重量與質地，思考適合的器物形式。
Functional Balance
Testing and adjustments improve the fit between hand and object.
實用平衡
反覆試握、修整邊緣與比例，讓餐具更符合實際需求。
Art Encounters
Into Contemporary Art
A visit to the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, extends learning beyond the workshop. Exhibitions and architecture offer different ways to experience space, movement, and interaction, opening new perspectives on art and everyday life.
場域觀察：在金澤與當代藝術相遇
把握長期休館整修前的機會，走進金澤 21 世紀美術館，將視角從木作延伸至當代藝術。從展覽、建築到觀眾的行走與互動，感受作品如何改變觀看方式，也為日後的設計帶來不同啟發。
From Forest to Future Design｜從森林走向未來設計
Hands-on learning and cultural encounters build the knowledge and judgment behind meaningful design. AI may expand creative possibilities, but people give them direction through what they know, value, and choose.
從森林走進工坊，再延伸至藝術現場，將親手製作與文化交流的收穫帶入未來。讓 AI 拓展想像，也憑藉自身累積的知識與判斷，做出更有意識的設計選擇。
