探寻北京绢人的前世与今生
了解中国传统技艺的传承与创新

北京绢人是北京特有的传统民间艺术品，距今已有1000多年历史，2009年入选“人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录”，2021年列入第五批国家级非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录，主要取材自中国古典文学、戏曲和历史人物，以专业化设计和多道工序，精心制作而成。非遗传承人唐燕在北京绢人传统技艺的基础上创新设计出衍生品“中国芭比”唐娃娃，做工精致巧妙，造型栩栩如生，具有浓厚的中国风，曾多次作为国礼和北京礼物，向世界讲述了生动精彩的中国故事。
活动现场，唐燕向大家介绍了传统绢人的起源及工艺、北京绢人的传承脉络、北京绢人“唐娃娃”的传承与创新，以及非遗市场化运作模式。唐燕表示，“唐娃娃”一方面始终以北京绢人制作技艺为核心，同时在设计上打破了传统题材的范围。改良后的“唐娃娃”面部和手部采用特殊石膏，细腻如瓷，凹凸有致，表情丰富，栩栩如生，同时在手绘基础上结合电脑制作，提高了制作效率。“唐娃娃”通过多项工艺的改进，丰富了创作题材，降低了制作难度，将更多中国传统文化元素融入产品设计，成为有温度、有内涵、有纪念意义的文化载体。

体验“捻丝编花”工艺与技法
学习非遗工匠精神与品格
Experiencingthecraftsmanshipandartisanspiritembodiedbythetechniqueof“weavingironwirestocreatedecorativepatterns”
“捻丝编花”是制作北京绢人头饰及配饰的一项重要工艺技法，最初是由模拟宫廷金工“掐丝镶嵌”的装饰艺术效果演变而来，通过特制的装饰铁丝合股编制，易于造型，编缵成一个个小圆圈，再组合、凹型，缀以珠串、镶嵌宝石，其精美华丽程度不亚于掐丝镶嵌的装点效果。唐燕把这项纯粹的手工技法运用在改良后的北京绢人“唐娃娃”制作中，保留了北京绢人的风采和神韵。
活动现场，唐燕带领嘉宾一同体验了制作北京绢人“唐娃娃”工艺之“捻丝编花”。嘉宾们用捻丝编花技艺亲手制作了精美的胸针、指环、手镯等饰品。现场嘉宾表示，体验活动让人在繁忙的工作中得到了片刻美好的宁静，沉浸在艺术的熏陶中，放松了身心，同时也真切感受到了非物质文化遗产的独特魅力与艺术价值，以及非遗传承人承载的重要使命和工匠精神。
