Mr. Lin's works of art:
Reflection:
Today we come to Datun Eighteen Furrow to visit Lin Yu-sheng artist. As entering the studio, we see an array of works. The works' price are so high that let us
stare, he said these works are unique, so prices will be so high.
While doing ceramics,glazing is full of a lot of knowledge. As Mr. Lin making new work, in the same time he also studying the glaze. The ingredients and recipes of
Glaze determine the characteristics of the work. Mr. Lin challenge "Tianmu Glaze", which is the most difficult color glaze, as long as one of procedure is not careful it
will fail, so there are few people would use it. He uses Tianmu Glaze to make perfect pottery, so his works always have lots of positive evaluations.
