In Chongqing, Lacquer opened his first studio in China. As the saying goes, “you can get one jin lacquer after walking one hundred miles and using one thousand knives”, it is not easy to collect lacquer. Lacquer came to Chengkou, the origin of lacquer trees in Chongqing, where he met the lacquer farmer Yang Laosi. Today, they have known each other for 10 years. Every year when collecting paint, Lacquer will wear Jiefang shoes to Chengkou, eat and live with Yang Laosi, and climb trees to collect lacquer. For this friendship, Vincent Lacquer, who is not good at Chinese, expressed in what he thought was the sincerest way: “We are very close.”

Another raw material often used in Lacquer’s works is bamboo, a plant with Chinese characteristics, which is used by him to make the embryos of his lacquer works. In order to improve his bamboo weaving craftsmanship, Lacquer also visited veteran craftsmen in Wulong.

On Hufeng Mountain, bamboo trees are full of shade, and some of them are behind Lacquer’s current studio. He will take the hatchet and look for the bamboo when he needed. After cutting it off, he will draw a strip and make a basket, and then transform the basket into an embryo for making lacquer.
