Lee Xiang-Hui studied graphic design when she was in university. It was not until 2012 that she joined Wu Wei-Cheng's studio "Inaction Pottery Workshop" to learn ceramic art, and then she began to learn ceramic art. Later, she saw the ceramic art course held by the Ministry of Culture in Taiwan and decided to study with her friends. After the course, she further established her love for ceramic art creation.
As Lee Xiang-Hui's teacher, Wu Wei-Cheng has a profound influence on her. She tries to combine the skills and ideas she has learned, and uses the characteristics of materials to integrate the soul and the external environment into the work. For her, the pottery-making process is slow, but this kind of waiting is like gestating life. Through the careful and soft shaping of the process, the viewer can feel the cordial and simple feeling that ceramics bring to everyone. Through experimentation and creation, she transforms the creatures and scenery in nature into different vitality qualities and patterns. Carry out the training of the inner soul and the consideration of the outer environment, explore yourself, and pursue more possibilities; transmit the energy of nature, present the temperature and beauty of ceramics.
Lee Xiang-Hui was born in Taichung, Taiwan in 1976. She graduated from The Department of Commercial Design of NUTC and engaged in visual design-related work after graduation. She used to study at the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute-Ceramic Talent Training, and she is currently studying in Inaction Pottery Workshop with teacher Wu Wei-Cheng and assisting in management.
