燒窯後的作品,
有時會與我們想像的不同。
這也是陶的一部分⸺
泥土、火、釉與當下的環境,
共同造就它最後的樣子。
釉面的起泡,或許不是瑕疵,
而是一瞬火與土相遇的痕跡。
像火山爆發後的熔岩,
在流動、冷卻與凝結之間,
留下大地生成的記憶。
願我們不急著修正,
而是學著接受那些無法預期的變化。
陶不是一件大量製造的器皿,
它是一段由土、火、時間與雙手
共同完成的過程。
讓我們以一點詩意,
面對作品成為的樣子。
After the firing,
a piece may become something different
from what we imagined.
This is part of working with clay—
earth, fire, glaze, and the conditions of the moment
all shape what it becomes.
A bubble in the glaze may not be a flaw,
but a trace of fire meeting earth—
like lava flowing, cooling, and hardening,
leaving behind a memory of the earth in formation.
May we not rush to correct
what we did not expect,
but allow these changes to remain.
A ceramic piece is not a mass-produced vessel.
It is a process shaped by
earth, fire, time, and our hands.
May we meet what it has become
with a little poetry.
