We are often asked, "How is 《Shuttle Embroidery》 different from machine embroidery?" Standard machine embroidery is done automatically by a machine that reads an embroidery pattern, resulting in perfectly uniform and identical stitches. In contrast, 《Shuttle Embroidery》 is an artisanal technique where the craftsperson manually moves the fabric while stitching the design. Because it is made by hand, each piece has a unique character. No two embroideries are exactly alike, and the finished embroidery has a texture that resembles hand embroidery. The process involves transferring a sketch to the fabric and then, while referencing the original design, stitching in sync with the up-and-down motion of the sewing machine needle – a remarkable craft that is astonishing even to imagine. In Vietnam today, there are only about 400 people who can perform shuttle embroidery. Of these, only 50 work professionally. Furthermore, only 30 have passed the highest level (Level 4) of embroidery certification. Among them, merely 10 can execute the intricate designs of Pangandaran. However, being skilled is not enough; embroidery requires a sense of artistry. Subtle nuances can significantly alter the overall impression. Therefore, at Pangandaran, we entrust our work to Hun, who possesses the highest level of skill. Hun, currently 46 years old, has been embroidering since the age of 15, making him a veteran of 31 years in this craft. Moreover, he has a truly exceptional sense of design. We place our complete trust 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 train apprentices. Hun has taught four apprentices so far, but he notes that there are no young people today who can master this technique. Due to rapid economic growth, manual crafts are 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 offer little protection, placing Vietnamese shuttle embroidery on the brink of disappearing within the next decade or so. In this video, we feature the highly skilled artisan Hun as he creates the "Sudden Rain Embroidery." Please witness the beautiful embroidery brought to life with his expert technique.
