Artist Introduction: Artist: Master Yu-Hua Yu Born in 1980, he was captivated by the mysterious art of the potter's wheel during junior high school, an experience that stayed with him. After completing his military service, he moved to Yingge alone and studied under Masters Kuo-Jung Wu and Chien-Tsai Wu, laying a solid foundation in wheel throwing and firing techniques. After establishing his studio, he dedicated himself to research and development. During this period, he received accolades such as the Gold Award for Cultural and Creative Design at the Taiwan Golden Teapot Award and an Excellence Award from the Tainan Craft and Cultural Promotion Association. He is currently a contemporary young Taiwanese ceramic artist. Master Yu-Hua Yu has spent over two decades mastering the properties of various clays, integrating his creative vision to blend tradition with modernity. He has developed series such as the "Iridescent Shino," "Rock Mineral," and "Purple Clay Cloud Smoke" ceramic works. Furthermore, Master Yu has successfully recreated the firing techniques of Song Dynasty celadon! His crackled series imitates the traditional wood-firing techniques of the Song Dynasty, firing for five days and four nights continuously at temperatures above 1260°C. After the ash forms, it naturally settles, creating the "crackled" Song Dynasty celadon, which is truly astonishing.
