info@slowtravelhue.comTrúc Chỉ, literally bamboo paper, has evolved beyond a material to be a work of art. Truchigraphy is a technical term prevailing three secrets:
There are two main stages in creating a Truc Chi paper art, first is paper making then graphic designing process. Raw materials (straw, bamboo, sugarcane…all types of natural fibers) are soaked, boiled with lime, ground, and pound into pulp. They are then mixed in water basin and cleverly spread on a mold. The artist places arty pattern on the wet paper and uses a hose to spray water to create different level of thickness, sophisticated shades of intensity. Using the water hose as “pain brush”, and jets of water to create graphic arts on paper express the key concept of truchigraphy.
