Nine Birds Ceramics Workshop Introduction
In 2002, Teacher A-Liang established the Jiuniu Ceramics Studio in Chihlu, Taitung. The studio is named "Jiuniu," which is derived from the local place name "Xinban," where "Jiu" (鸠) refers to a type of bird. The term "Ceramics" reflects a desire to emulate renowned pottery cultures such as Japan's Shino ware, aiming for Jiuniu Ceramics to become as historically significant and enduringly passed down as these distinguished pottery creations. In addition to their annual commitment to artistic creation and refinement, Teacher A-Liang and Teacher Xiazi also embarked on the path of ceramics education, opening the doors to artistic creation for the public through various teaching initiatives. Over the years, they have started collaborating with various sectors to produce lifestyle ceramic items, custom products for businesses, public art projects, ceramics courses, DIY experiences, kiln art cultural tours, and the development of handcrafted accessories. Upon visiting the Jiuniu Ceramics display room, one can find the beautifully crafted, dark, and glossy traditional Paiwan clay pots, as well as the "Deer Series" small items inspired by local place names such as Chihlu and Lukye, ideal for holding business cards.
