陶藝 - Pottery

泥土給予自然界的禮物無遠弗屆：

生物棲息地。

提供植物生長所需。

養分和有機物轉變的所在。

甚至可製造生活用品與藝術創作。

陶瓷藝術

是人類的傳統工藝。

這種製作、著色的技巧，

最早可追溯至遠古石器時代。

由民生器皿，逐漸演化成了一種

藝術表現。

現代陶藝有原始、古典、民俗、

現代主義和後現代主義等

幾種藝術風格，

與繪畫、雕塑同為造型藝術。

陶瓷製作首先要練土 – 

練土是要讓泥土內的空氣排岀，

也就是搓泥的動作。

然後塑形 – 

心中所想的完全寄託在

每一寸泥土中。

耐心、專注，

平心靜氣的完成素胚。

等待大約7天乾燥。

再將素胚放入窰燒製。

第一次燒攝氏960度，稱為素燒。

素燒完成，可以選擇自己喜愛的

釉色，

用浸泡或以筆畫方式上釉。

上釉完畢，再把作品放入窰，

開始第二次燒攝氏約1200度，

稱為釉燒。

做陶藝的過程

猶如禪定。

放下萬緣、隨和自在。

心靈與泥土的互動

在陶藝工作室小小的空間

潛藏著無限可能。

當我做陶藝時

時間飛逝，

兩小時似乎只在頃刻間。

結束時感覺整個身心放空，

但精神很好，能量充沛。

由練土至完成釉燒

作品的美好或有遺缺。

美好或不美好⋯

令我領悟到其中的哲學：

遺憾抱怨會令人更沉重憂傷。

要與自己和解。

接受不完美的人生，

不完美的自己。

由錯誤、經驗中修正、改善

學習、成長，進步⋯

The gift of soil to nature is far from boundless -

Biological habitat.

Provide a medium for plant growth.

A place for the transformation of nutrients and organic matter.

It can even make daily necessities 

and artistic creation.

Ceramic art

it is a traditional human craft.

This kind of production and colouring skills,

The earliest can be traced back to

the Paleolithic period.

From people's livelihood utensils, 

it has gradually evolved into a kind of

artistic performance.

Modern pottery has primitive, classical, folklore,

several art styles such as modernism 

and postmodernism,

together with painting and sculpture, 

it is also a plastic art.

First of all, we need to drain the air 

from the soil.

That is, the action of rubbing mud.

Then shape –

What We think in our heart is completely pinned in every inch of soil.

Patience and concentration,

completed works with peace of mind.

Wait for about 7 days to be dry.

The first burn is 960 degrees Celsius,

After that , we can choose our favorite 

glaze color.

Glaze it with a brush or soak in color.

After glazing, put the work into the hairpin.

At the beginning of the second burning of about 1200 degrees Celsius,

It is called glaze.

The process of making pottery 

It seems to be like meditation.

Let go of all fates and be at ease.

The interaction between the soul 

and the soil

in the small space of the pottery atelier,

there are infinite possibilities hidden.

When I was doing pottery

time flies.

Two hours seems to be only in an instant.

At the end, I feel that my whole body and mind are empty.

But I am in good spirits and full of energy.

From soil training to completion of glaze,

the beauty of the work may be lacking.

Whether it is good or not…

Let me understand it’s philosophical connotation ：

Regrets and complains 

can make people more sad.

Accept an imperfect life, 

an imperfect self, 

be reconciled with ourself.

Correct and improve 

from mistakes and experience.

Keep learning and growing 

and make progress…
