Atelier 一詞源出於法文，意旨私人工作室，最早出現在中世紀的歐洲，多為藝術家的聚集場所，彼此臨摹學習繪畫或工藝技巧。早期常見的藝術活動如：雕塑、油畫等...。曉 Shiau，中間名，太陽從地平線冒出來的時刻。

取名Shiau Atelier，是有感於在大量快速複製品的後工業時代，藝術成分較高的產品逐漸消失。自己十分喜愛藝術性的商品，像是手工刺繡、手工鞋或者是石膏雕塑，認為這些不應該成為科技產物下的犧牲品，藝術成分較高的產品雖然需要花更多的時間去完成，卻也因此擁有更多的個性與風格。這邊將紀錄我對生活的想法、我的創作以及分享我在世界角落流浪時發現到的好東西，希望你會喜歡這個空間。

This is Shiau-Atelier, a space where I'll share my life joy as well as personal works with you. Hope you love this cozy space.
