客家藍染是一項歷史悠久的工藝，但隨著時代變遷，傳承逐漸式微，文化記憶也逐漸淡去。為了讓這項技藝融入日常，我們設計了一款能讓孩子親手體驗藍染之美的蠟筆，透過簡單的創作方式，使傳統文化得以延續。蠟筆的紋理源自藍染，並使用與傳統藍染相同來源的植物染料，使每一筆都承載歷史的韻味。傳統工藝因學習門檻高、過程繁瑣，往往只能透過靜態展示學習，缺乏參與感，而這款產品讓文化不只是觀看，更能親手感受。研究顯示，手作學習比單純知識輸入更具影響力，因此我們設計了一款既保留藍染美感，又能自由創作的蠟筆。使用者描繪紋樣時，筆觸隨時間流逝，蠟筆也逐漸在指尖消融，像文化在歲月中淡去，這種無法挽留的感受讓人更珍惜傳統技藝的可貴。蠟筆採用天然蠟與植物染料製成，使紋理層次更接近藍染布料的質感。它不只是繪畫工具，更是文化傳承的橋樑，適用於學校、文化體驗、親子創作與文創展覽，讓學習變得自然有趣，也填補了兒童文創與非遺教育的空白，提升傳統工藝的價值，使文化得以延續。未來，這項設計將拓展更多紋理與色彩，讓更多傳統技藝被記憶與體驗。文化不該只是被觀看，而應被觸摸、感受、創造，當蠟筆在手中消融，文化的重量便在心中沉澱。

Hakka Crayon

Hakka indigo dyeing is a centuries-old craft, yet its traditions are fading with time. To integrate this heritage into everyday life, we developed a crayon that allows children to experience indigo dyeing through hands-on creation. Using plant-based pigments sourced from the same materials as traditional dyes, each stroke carries the essence of history. Unlike static exhibitions, this tool transforms cultural learning into an interactive experience. As users draw, the crayon gradually melts in their hands, mirroring the erosion of tradition over time. This fleeting moment deepens appreciation for the craft’s significance. Made from natural wax and sustainable pigments, the crayons replicate the layered textures of dyed fabrics. Beyond a drawing tool, they serve as a bridge for cultural preservation, ideal for schools, creative workshops, and exhibitions. By merging tradition with innovation, this design revives fading artistry, making heritage a tangible part of modern life.
