Abstract Making is a realization of the maker’s imagination. From imagination to realization there can be gaps in thought and the reality. Knowledge, both explicit and tacit, is necessary for carrying out the making. This article originated from autoethnographic writing about my failed calligraphic practice carried out on a garment by imitating a calligrapher’s movement. Failure resulted from misjudging my skill, i.e., from unawareness of my lack of tacit knowledge. Because tacit knowledge can be involved at the imagination stage of the garment-making process, a maker has no precise notion of how much he or she knows before performing the required actions. This article attempts to explain a maker’s personal journey of producing a garment, and to find the characteristics of tacit knowledge as imagination for garment-making. Research methods include autoethnography, filming, and the theory of tacit knowledge.

制衣中想象与实现之间隐性知识的书法实践

摘要制作是制作者想象力的实现。从想象到实现，思想和现实之间可能存在差距。知识，无论是显性的还是隐性的，都是进行创作所必需的。这篇文章起源于自我民族志写作，关于我通过模仿书法家的动作在服装上进行的书法练习失败。失败是由于错误地判断了我的技能，即由于没有意识到我缺乏隐性知识。因为在服装制作过程的想象阶段可能会涉及到隐性知识，所以在执行所需的操作之前，制造商并没有准确的概念他或她知道多少。这篇文章试图解释一个制造者的个人生产服装的旅程，并找到隐性知识作为服装制作想象力的特征。
