Artist Introduction: Artist: Master Yu Hua-Yu Born in 1980, he was captivated by the mysterious art of wheel-thrown pottery during junior high school, an experience that left an indelible impression. After completing his military service, he moved to Yingge alone and studied under Masters Wu Guo-Rong and Wu Jian-Cai, laying a solid foundation in wheel throwing and firing techniques. After establishing his studio, he dedicated himself to meticulous research and development. During this period, he received accolades such as the Gold Award for Cultural and Creative Innovation in the Taiwan Golden Teapot Award Ceramic Design Competition and an Award of Excellence from the Tainan City Craft and Cultural Promotion Association. He is currently a contemporary young Taiwanese ceramic artist. Master Yu Hua-Yu has spent over twenty years mastering the properties of various clays, infusing them with his unique creativity, and blending tradition with modernity. He has developed the "Shifting Shino Series," "Rock Mineral Series," and "Purple Clay Cloud Mist Series" of ceramic works. Furthermore, Master Yu has successfully recreated the celadon firing techniques of the Song Dynasty! His crackled series of works emulate the Song Dynasty's wood-firing techniques, firing continuously for 5 days and 4 nights at temperatures above 1260 degrees Celsius. After turning to ash, the natural ash fall creates the "crackled" Song Dynasty celadon, which is truly astonishing.
