“Xiaoyu bamboo art” originated in Tang and Song Dynasties, and has a history of more than 1000 years. Its main principle is to heat the bamboo by fire, so that the bamboo can be softened and then bent.There are many bamboo resources in Yiyang, so we use bamboo to create art products. Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces all have this skill, but now we are the only one here to stick to this oldest technology, and other places have changed.

Expert Wei has been a bamboo artist for over 27 years，he  and his student have two studio, Training Studio and Production Studio. The training base is mainly used for:

• Research and development of new products, small batch production;
• Training for Chinese and foreign students: people from poorer countries;
• Traveling experience of primary and secondary school students:;
• Folk tourism

The Production Studio is used processing products.

“小郁竹艺”发源于唐宋，至今已经有一千多年的历史。它的主要原理是通过火对竹子加温，从而使竹子软化后进行弯曲变形。益阳竹子资源很多，所以就利用竹子做艺术产品创作。浙江、四川、广东、广西等省份都有此项技艺，但是现在全国只有我们这里坚守这个最古老的工艺，别的地方都改变了。

危大师已经做小郁竹艺27年了，他和他的徒弟有两个工作室，传习基地和加工基地。传习基地主要用于：

• 新产品的研发、小批量的生产；
• 中外学员的培训：比较穷的国家的人做 ；
• 中小学生的游学体验：；
• 民俗旅游。

加工基地则用于加工产品。
