Artist Introduction: Artist: Master Yu Hua-yu Born in 1980, he was captivated by the mysterious process of wheel-thrown pottery during junior high school, an experience that remained unforgettable. After completing his military service, he moved to Yingge alone and studied under Masters Wu Guo-rong and Wu Jian-cai, establishing 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 Expo at the Taiwan Golden Teapot Award Ceramic Design Competition and an Award of Excellence from the Tainan 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, integrating his creative artistry, and combining tradition with modernity to develop his "Iridescent Shino Series," "Mineral Series," and "Purple Clay Cloud Smoke Series" of ceramic works. During this time, Master Yu also successfully recreated the firing techniques of Song Dynasty celadon! His crackled series emulates the wood-firing techniques of the Song Dynasty, firing continuously for 5 days and 4 nights at temperatures above 1260 degrees Celsius. After turning to ash, the natural falling ash creates the "crackled" Song Dynasty celadon, which is astonishing.
