Making my chawan is for me a zen moment, timeless and part of my daily rituals. A spiritual
quest for a nice shape, homemade ash-glaze, fired in a gas, wood or charcoal kiln. It gives
me an inner strength, certain modesty and radiates beauty. Drinking tea out of it, gives me the
feeling and taste of infinity, the relationship with so many other Chawan makers. The chawan
as the perfect connection between heaven and earth.
The joy of sharing, that’s my way of life!!!

製作茶碗的過程對我來說是充滿禪意且永恆的時刻，是我每日儀式的一部份。一個追求美麗
外型、自製灰釉，透過瓦斯窯、柴窯、木炭窯去燒製的過程。它給予我內在力量、教我謙虛
並散發美的光芒。用茶碗飲茶讓我嚐到無限並與其他的茶碗創作者產生連結。茶碗是天與地
之間的完美橋樑。
分享的喜悅就是我的人生之道！
