Alvin Ng

I worked with gas and wood-fired pottery, and fired nearly every month in the reduction kiln, which allowed
me to constantly try and make breakthroughs in the performance of "local clay" and "local ash".
I created my own set of "pinch and push method"; i pinched out various shapes with clay, and left natural
hand patterns and clay texture. The shape of my works is basic and simple, with the glaze that I ground
and mixed myself, the colour and luster highlight is my personal style.
In addition to showing various natural textures in my works, the self-mixed ash glaze creates more intriguing
colours in the kiln; restrained and quaint natural mineral glaze colours.
You can feel the raw and fullness in my works, a sense of generosity like the earth, just like my honest
personality and simple life.
Through the three signature dots of a_pot – see, feel and taste – my teaware aspires to delight the eye, relax
the mind and quench the thirst of individuals. Sense of generosity like the earth, reflecting his personality
and simple life.

我用瓦斯窯和柴窯燒陶，且幾乎每個月做還原燒，讓我能夠用在地的土與灰持續做不同的嘗試與突破。
我發明了自己的一套「手捏手推法」，用手捏成各種不同的形狀並留下自然的手印與質感。作品的外型
原始、簡單，並使用自行研磨、配方的釉藥，顏色與光澤都是屬於我自己的風格。
除了在作品中展現各種天然質地，我自己混合的灰釉在窯中會產出更多奇妙的顏色；一些奇特且收斂的
自然礦物釉色澤。
我的作品感覺原始、飽滿，像大地一般的寬厚，就跟我的誠實個性與簡單的生活一樣。
透過a_pot 代表性的三個點：視覺、感覺、味覺，期望我的茶器可以讓人眼睛愉悅、心情放鬆、口唇止渴。
