Taiwan Craft Workshop - Pottery Workshop Introduction
Hsu Tsung-huan was born in 1965 in Dacun, Changhua. Hsu creates pottery that not only emphasizes the functionality of the art itself but also conveys many inner concepts and ideas through his works. Each piece of his hand-crafted pottery is unique, exuding the rustic charm of traditional rural Taiwan, as well as serving as a reflection of childhood memories. Elements such as casuarina trees, extensively cultivated peanuts, frogs in the ditches, and fallen dead wood along the roadside are vividly integrated into his pottery creations. In 2003, he won the Huanxi Award in the 4th Huanxi Art Exhibition, and in 2007 he received certification from the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute as a "Taiwan Craft Home." In 2011, he was selected as one of the 100 Outstanding Figures of Changhua County, and in 2012 he won the Copper Prize at the 4th Ceramic Golden Pot Awards. In 2014, he received the 17th Global Love for Life Medal from the Chou Ta-Kuan Foundation. The Pottery Workshop was established in the 1980s, creating a cultural space in this rural area for appreciating pottery, playing with clay, tea tasting, and passing on crafts. Through the molding of clay, Hsu conveys a deep emotional connection to the earth, allowing his pots to not only serve a function but also to carry warmth.
