編織家鄉與母親故事的織心者－陳怡君

A Textile Artist Who Weaves Stories of Hometown

andMotherhood​—Chen Yi-Chun

怡君觀察到想在農村找份兼顧育兒生活的工作並不容易，「巧婦」提供培訓課程、彈性工時，建置以件計價的代工收入，「我希望媽媽們來工作室，可以轉移一下下注意力，做回自己、跟成員有共同話題，做出成品能受肯定，從這裡找回自己的價值與更多自信。」現有11位成員，分別來自學甲、麻豆、鹽水和臺南市區，一起設計研發，縫製自然材質的包袋、小物販售，也接客製訂單、舉辦體驗課程，時常可在臺南市集活動見到「巧婦」身影。

Yijun observed that it is not easy to find work in rural areas that allows women to balance childcare and daily life. “Ciao-Fu” offers training programs, flexible working hours, and a piece-rate outsourcing system to provide income opportunities.“I hope that when mothers come to the studio, they can take a short break from their daily responsibilities, reconnect with themselves, and build shared connections with other members. By creating finished products that are recognized and appreciated, they can rediscover their sense of self-worth and gain greater confidence.”Currently, there are 11 members from Xuejia, Madou, Yanshui, and urban Tainan. Together, they design and develop products, crafting bags and small items using natural materials for sale. They also take custom orders and host hands-on workshops. “Ciao-Fu” can often be seen participating in local markets and events around Tainan.
