三峽藍染

藍染是什麼東西喔?

是吃的還是用的呢?

沒關係跟著我們的腳步,

讓我們來了解三峽文化產物藍染喔!

首先,我們來認識三峽在哪裡,

三峽位於橫溪、三峽及大漢溪的匯流地,

所以又稱三角湧。

三峽是個充滿人文、藝術的古鎮,

至今仍延續及保有

純樸悠閒風貌和活生生的社區生態。

除此,豐富的人文與優美風景的景點,

像是三峽的民權老街、

三峽歷史文物館、

三峽祖師廟、

李梅樹紀念文物館,

大豹溪沿途的美好山水景色

都值得您前來探訪細細回味。

現在就讓我來介紹最獨特的文化藝術產物,

報你知!

說到三峽,你不可不知的就是藍染,

你一定很好奇什麼是藍染呢?

藍染是做什麼用的呢?

藍染是天然的植物染,

在台灣常見的藍染材料有:

馬藍、木藍、蓼藍等植物

遠在5000年前就有相關記載了,

早期的婦女利用藍草

製靛,染出了美麗的衣衫。

三峽就是北台灣重要的染布業中心,

而三峽染所用的是傳統沉澱法製藍,

選用的藍染植物是馬蘭,

製作步驟則分為製靛與建藍兩個步驟

其實三峽藍染的商品都是有手工植物染色,

每一件產品都有他的創作的故事。

目前開發的商品有大小手提包、香包、

名片夾、小錢包、門簾、筆記書、方巾、

圍巾、壁飾、藍染娃娃及多樣的藍染服飾等
