Can you believe that within these country roads,

Some people use cameras to take images of lotus flower,

有人用相機把荷花珍藏在影像裡

and other people prefer to dye their fabrics with lotus petals.

有人把蓮花做成植物染 藏在布裡

In addition, some artists draw lotus flowers on potteries

也有藝術家把荷花畫在土上  藏在陶藝裡

so that they exist beyond the limit of flower season.

One interesting thing I would like to mention here is that

這間工作坊有件很有趣的事情是

a lot of pottery works that you can see at Tainan city

許多你在臺南所能看到的陶藝作品

is founded by an artist called Lin Wen-yueh

and exhibits his creations in his gallery.

and calligraphy works as well as potteries.

seem like they're having a dialogue with the statues in front.

and all those works we've just seen were made from this kiln.

剛才我們看見的陶藝作品都來自這座窯

What's so special about this kiln is that

they burn woods to heat up for making potteries.

Let's find out which kiln it was made from.

剛才我們在工作坊內看到的陶藝作品

is  like two hundred and eleven centimeters.

In order to make such a big pottery work,

And so the kiln behind me has a rail way track

我身後的這座窯  有一個滑軌在下面

that can move and combine the kilns together.

We happen to have the chance to see an artist creating his work.

is inspired by the saying “Lotus blooms untainted from the mud.”

We tried to transform this concept into symbols.

It's different from common realistic lotus artworks.

Emerging oneself in the sounds of cicadas and breezes,

the artist creates his artworks in the wide-open nature.

“As long as you remain calm, you don't feel the heat.”

And by letting go of one's worries and concerns,

This is  so-called “the effect of beauty” in life.

這是生命裡面所謂「美的作用」

The transformation from one's feeling towards

For example, we held the Shang-su Festival

which a variety of artists would come and join us,

including musicians and artists who know how to make tea,

and pottery artists,calligraphy artists, etc.

還有陶藝的  書法的  各方面都有

I was impressed by one of the works in the gallery.

在展場裡有件令我印象非常深刻的作品

It's definitely a difficult task to biscuit fire the pottery.

except for the time I spent on building the kiln and that space,

limestone, and ash of lotus as well as longan trees.

石灰石  蓮蓬灰   還有龍眼樹的木灰

Together they make the most natural glaze.

We can draw it on the pottery due to its thick and pure texture.

它特別渾厚而純淨  感覺又可以畫

After spending like a half day here at this studio

這也讓我覺得生命好像沒那麼困難
