黑色——可能是曾經的影子、失落的痕跡，也可能是養分與成長的紀念。經歷過的情感與故事，將在雙手與陶土之間沉澱，轉化為溫柔而堅定的形貌。
藝術家呂巧智相信人是有機的存在，與環境持續交織、互動，因此她的創作不只是物件的呈現，更是一種身體與靈魂介入自然的過程，然而這些過程正是透過日常中發現微小卻強韌的生命痕跡的累積而成，她選擇透過陶土捏塑出人與自然之間的內在對話。
本次課堂製作時間為3.5小時，並將由講師指導如何使用來自美國的「黑山Black Mountain」雕塑土。本次課堂配合概念設計，將不會另行上釉，而是將以以細膩的紋理來刻畫出特殊的黑泥質地，顯現其迷人的成色。造型方面將由藝術家所提出的「植物自畫像」概念，作為雕塑成形引導，在陶土與植物形態的互動中，逐步探索、認識自己，透過雙手與泥土展開一場關於生命、記憶與再生的對話。
雲森陶陶邀請您，與我們一同透過雙手與土壤對話，尋找屬於自我生命的節奏與情感的共鳴。
Cloud Forest is honored to invite ceramic artist Julia Lu to conduct an eagerly anticipated ceramic sculpture workshop—“ Black and Flower Non-Flower – Plant Self-Portrait Sculpture“
Black—perhaps a former shadow, a trace of loss, or perhaps a commemoration of nourishment and growth. The emotions and stories we’ve experienced will settle between our hands and clay, transforming into gentle yet firm forms.
Artist Julia Lu believes that humans are organic beings, continuously intertwining and interacting with their environment. Therefore, her creations are not merely presentations of objects, but rather a process of physical and spiritual intervention in nature. These processes are formed through the accumulation of small yet resilient traces of life discovered in daily existence. She chooses to mold the inner dialogue between humans and nature through clay.
This workshop will last 3.5 hours, during which the instructor will guide participants in using “Black Mountain” sculpting clay from the United States. In keeping with the conceptual design, the works will not be glazed; instead, fine textures will be used to depict the special black clay quality, revealing its fascinating coloration. For the form, the artist’s concept of “plant self-portrait” will guide the sculpture formation. Through the interaction between clay and plant forms, participants will gradually explore and recognize themselves, engaging in a dialogue about life, memory, and regeneration through their hands and the earth.
Cloud Forest invites you to join us in conversing with the soil through your hands, seeking the rhythm of your own life and the resonance of your emotions.
