We are often asked how 《shuttle embroidery》 differs from regular machine embroidery. Standard machine embroidery reads an embroidery design and the machine stitches it automatically, resulting in uniform, identical designs every time. In contrast, 《shuttle embroidery》 is an artisan skill where the craftsperson moves the fabric to create the embroidery design. Because it is made by human hands, each piece has a unique character. No two embroidered pieces are alike, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand embroidery. It's an incredible craft that involves transferring the sketch to the fabric and stitching while referring to the original design, coordinating with the up-and-down movement of the needle – just imagining it is impressive. Currently, there are only about 400 people in Vietnam who can perform shuttle embroidery. Of these, only about 50 can do it professionally. Furthermore, only 30 have passed the highest level (Level 4) of embroidery certification. Among them, only 10 can execute the intricate embroidery required by Pangandaran. But being skilled isn't enough; embroidery requires artistic sensibility. Even a slight nuance can significantly alter the overall impression. For this reason, we entrust our work to Mr. Hun, who possesses the highest level of skill. Mr. Hun is currently 46 years old but has been embroidering since he was 15, making him a veteran of 31 years in this field. Moreover, he has a truly exceptional sense of design. We place our complete trust in him. With Vietnam's economic development, traditional crafts, like elsewhere, face challenging circumstances. Since 2000, the number of people capable of shuttle embroidery has been rapidly declining, and very few young people today can perform this technique. The number of artisans is expected to decrease further, and shuttle embroidery in Vietnam is on the verge of disappearing within the next decade or so. In the video, we had the privilege of having the master artisan, Mr. Hun, create the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please witness the beautiful embroidery brought to life with his assured technique.
