Yvonne Weng’s ceramics collection for this exhibition is a special body of work inspired by Japanese tea culture and spirit, originating from Chado instructor Yamamoto Sōka’s custom-ordered tea utensils, which were intended for use in her tea practice sessions at SOKA’AN.
 

The exhibition runs for two weeks. During this period, tea practitioner Yamamoto Sōka conducted tea ceremony practice experiences using this commissioned tea set. At the same time, a total of 134 ceramic works were presented, including water jars, tea bowls, lid rests, wastewater jars, vases, wagashi serving plates, and covered wagashi boxes.
 

The hues are a highlight of this collection. In Yvonne’s wood-fired works, there is a wide range of colours, including snow white, stone black, sunset orange, ocean blue, as well as subtle tones of lavender and jade. Works fired in her electric kiln demonstrate a sense of simplicity in handmade tableware, with colours such as beige, black, light and dark brown, and blue.
 

The materials used in this collection are not limited by geographical origin, combining Western clay bodies with glaze recipes inspired by traditional Japanese ceramics. The works were made in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and fired either in her electric kiln or wood-fired in Miaoli. Her techniques include wheel throwing, handbuilding, and slab construction.
