Rush Weaver | Cheng Mei-yu
Did You Know That …?
- Cheng Mei-yu (鄭梅玉) is the prized pupil of Lin Huang-jiao (林黃嬌), one of the forerunners who helped transform rush-weaving into an art form.
- Cheng started taking lessons from Lin at the age of 40, but her natural affinity for weaving shone through, and in a few years' time she began to garner national crafts awards.
- Apart from rush sculptures depicting local aspects of Taiwan culture, Cheng has also created rush handbags, cellphone carriers, and figurines inspired by the people around her.
