We are often asked, "How is shuttle embroidery different from regular machine embroidery?" Regular machine embroidery is automated, with the machine reading the design and stitching it precisely. This results in perfectly uniform and identical embroidery every time. Shuttle embroidery, on the other hand, is a craft where the artisan manually moves the fabric to create the design. Because it's made by human hands, each piece has its own unique character. No two embroidered pieces are exactly alike, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand-embroidery. It's an incredible artisanal skill that involves transferring a sketch to the fabric and stitching while referring to the original artwork, coordinating the up-and-down motion of the sewing machine needle. Currently, there are only about 400 people in Vietnam who can perform shuttle embroidery. Of these, only 50 are able to do it professionally. Furthermore, only 30 have passed the highest embroidery certification level, Level 4. Among them, only 10 can execute the intricate designs of Pangandaran. However, being skilled isn't enough; embroidery requires a sense of style. Even a slight nuance can significantly alter the overall impression. For this reason, we entrust our work to Hun, a master artisan at Pangandaran. Hun is currently 46 years old and has been in this field for 31 years, starting at the age of 15. Moreover, he possesses an exceptional sense of style. We have complete faith in him. With recent economic development, traditional crafts in Vietnam, like elsewhere, face challenging circumstances. Since 2000, the number of people capable of shuttle embroidery has been rapidly declining. While there used to be schools for this craft, now, skilled artisans teach apprentices. Hun has trained four individuals, but he notes that there are no young people capable of this technique today. Due to rapid economic growth, manual craftsmanship is being left behind, and the number of artisans is expected to decrease further. This trend is accelerating faster than in Japan, and the national systems do not actively protect these traditions. As a result, Vietnam's shuttle embroidery is on the verge of disappearing within the next decade or so. In this video, we had the privilege of having the skilled artisan Hun create the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please witness the beautiful embroidery come to life with his assured technique.
