《南聊》沃木&好皮工作室

【有皮革的柔軟更有木作的溫暖】－ 沃木&好皮工作室
地址：台南市中西區民生路二段69號後棟。
受訪人：艾拉
桃園人，定居台南12年。

【沃木,好皮】代表兩個不同品牌，包括咪咪的實木家具和艾拉的皮件創作，兩人從2012年成立工作室，憑藉四隻手的力量整理打造出現有的店面、工作室和教室。艾拉高中時讀的是繪畫組，當時專攻油畫，她說自己當時不太適應團體生活，因此只想做僅需一人便能完成的創作。大學考試時她用潑灑式的素描作品入學，當時選擇搬到台南讀書、生活，艾拉回想其實一開始並不適應台南生活，幸而身邊時常都有熱情的朋友支持，不知不覺中讓她落腳台南至今已經12年，最近還生了寶寶。

大學畢業後的艾拉嘗試做過許多工作，曾經一度覺得自己再也無法繼續創作。因為妹妹的關係接觸到了皮件創作，她眼中的妹妹是個自由又大膽的人，妹妹的皮件使用染色技法，讓皮革呈現出的嶄新面貌，帶領艾拉投入皮件的世界，就此深深著迷。

第一次讓外界看到艾拉的皮件作品是在色之古市集，艾拉說擺攤前她信心滿滿，想像一定會全部賣光，但一整個下午雖然不少人停下來看和詢問，但市集結束時她一個皮件都沒賣出。艾拉對皮件的熱忱，並沒有因為這件事情有任何影響，她不斷持續努力的繼續創作，【沃木,好皮】才能有現在這樣的成績。

除了自己埋頭製作皮件外，對艾拉來說，讓更多人認識皮件的美好、學會製作皮件也同樣重要，因此【沃木,好皮】持續的都會推出皮件的製作課程，每次的主題和內容都不相同，適合各種程度的手作者，即使初學也別擔心，一起感受手作皮革的美好吧！

【Wowood/good.s】represents two different brands, including Mimi’s wooden furniture design and Ella’s leather design. They opened their studio in 2012, the space now consists of shop, studio and classroom. Ella was in painting class when she was in high school, particularly specialize in oil painting. Recalling from her memory, she was not good at team work and always want to do something alone. She used splash-styled sketch panting for the university entrance exam, which is a unique and uncommon way. She moved to Tainan since then, she didn’t fall in love with the city immediately, but luckily she got friends supporting her all the time, time flies so fast that she has lived in Tainan over 12 years, and just gave a birth to her baby.

After graduated from university, Ella tried to do many kinds of jobs while she couldn’t really devoted herself, he even once thought she could never create anything. Luckily, Ella has a close relationship with her younger sister, one day; her sister showed Ella her leather creation which she just learned. Ella was so surprised that leather could be so different no matter when you dying them or the way you use, she was so fascinated and fell in love with leather right after then.

The first time Ella showed her leather creation to public was at Color of Tainan market, she was so confident that she thought she would sell all the products she brought that day, but when the market ended, she didn’t sell any of them. Ella didn’t waste any time being depressed, she just kept doing her leather creation with all her hearts, that’s why we can see all the beautiful and delicate leather and wooden art work from Wowood/good.s.

Besides making her own leather creation, it is also important for Ella to promote and introduce leather to more people not only by selling but also teaching. Therefore, Ella holds different themes of leather classes, no matter you are people knows leather pretty well, or just want to give yourself a hand-made souvenir, come to Wowood/good.s, then you will find what you want.
