Artist Wang Mei-yun graduated from Department of History, Tunghai University. She has devoted to pottery making soon after graduation. Within these 30 years, she has done research not only on traditional Taiwanese pottery art, but also the art styles from Mainland China and Japan. Also she had stayed in New Zealand for a year, and traveled to Europe for many times, those experiences bring the western thinking into her art works. That's why we can see some of her art works with Northern Chinese masculine, and some of her art works with Japanese Zen Buddhism, and some of her art works with Western simplicity and elegance.

Reflection:

Mrs. Wang like practical ceramic (ceramic works can be used) as the main object of production. She learned from Taiwan's traditional pottery nutrients admired porcelain, Korean Yi Dynasty porcelain outside, but also a few favorite British, Japanese modern history of pottery everyone ( as Lucie Rie, Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada, etc.), for their simple style wash chain more than try to figure out.

Her childhood love playing in the dirt teacher, a play, to play all day, so her mother scolded said: all day playing in the dirt mud, what will you do after how ? But after graduating from Tokai University, she has been playing with the minds grew up playing mud ─ clay. When making pottery, heart would calm down naturally, artworks will be naturally excellent.

 

She has a small studio, difference of the others, though small, but her work is very special, especially the small vase in front of his home, small and cute, loved by everyone. Her works are almost always some of the practical pottery can be used, for example: small vases, cups, bowls, etc., and each has its own unique style, very interesting.

Today we visit Mrs. Wang, she let us know the type of ceramics, and some we do not know the little knowledge, almost down to test us! Mrs. Wang said, the different preferences of each person, each person's good talent is different, and I was good at chess, my painting is not very good, people do not like some people better at something three-dimensional, and some people feel better some very bad pipes, pottery intention is to focus on what you are doing that works, as long as the heart, I believe that everything will be able to finish.

Finally, she gave us her most unique works of firewood ~ teacup, she felt all the works of the most rustic style, thank Mrs. Wang gave us one a small cup, as a souvenir.
