Nine Birds Pottery Workshop Introduction
In 2002, Teacher A-Liang established the Nine Birds Ceramics Studio in Chihlu, Taitung. The studio is named "Nine Birds," which is derived from the local place name "Xinban," where "Jiu" means bird. The term "ceramics" is intended to emulate famous pottery cultures like Japan's Shino ware, allowing Nine Birds Ceramics to have a long-lasting heritage like these renowned ceramic creations. Besides a consistent annual pursuit of artistic creation and improvement, A-Liang and Teacher Xiazi also began the journey of teaching ceramics, opening the door to artistic creation for the public through workshops. Over the years, they have collaborated with various sectors to start offering lifestyle ceramics, custom business products, public art projects, ceramics courses, DIY experiences, kiln culture tours, and the development of handcrafted accessories. In the Nine Birds Ceramics showroom, one can discover the dark, shiny, meticulously crafted traditional Paiwan pottery vessels, as well as the "Deer Series" small items inspired by local place names like Chihlu and Luk Yeh, which are suitable for holding business cards.
