2015

I haven't been writing blog for a long long time. Finally got sometimes to sit in front of computer. Now I have so much to say but so little that I can write it down, I think I need some times to reorganize my though. I will try to keep on posting new blog as new year resolution.

Stay tuned :-)

my new work...

Wow, it's 2012 now... It's been almost five month that I blog last...

well, so this is my newest creation

Quinlee 

 Life is so different when you became a mom, its very joyful and tiring at the same time

these couple month away from clay is a nice break for me to think about what I want to do when I am ready to work again. Hopefully I can start going back to work in couple month. And I will be back to teach pottery in ASUC in May! I can't wait to touch clay again!

(Quinlee on baby scale that we bought long time ago for weighting clay, now we use it to weight her)

Well, that's it for now. Time to catch a cat nap...

Dessert time...

I got this surprise in my mail box!

A Fan mail!!!

It's so sweet that someone really like my work that she wrote me a post card, so sweet!!

I have been not very motivate in my studio work because of all the extra weight and prepping for the new arrival (in 10 weeks, yaks!!) but I will keep this card in my studio to remind my self to keep working even the baby is born!!

Anyway, it really made my day, and I want to say thank you to Sara for sending me this lovely postcard!!

New Toy!

Right before I go back to Taiwan, I bought a used slab roller for myself.

I always wanted a slab roller. And now...I got one!!

It have been sitting in my studio waiting for me to get back from Taiwan.

Since I got back I have not been working, because of the jet-lag, classes and other excuses. 

But this whole week I told my self it's time to get back to work, 

so I try to figure out the best way I can fit the slab roller and other equipment.

Today...I finally use it for the first time in my studio:-)

I have to say, I kind of miss using my good old rolling pin.

But I think I will get use to this awesome addition to my equipment list very soon.

And beside the slab roller I also got something from Jason... I will post later on.

My studio now is getting better and better, yay!!! 

Vacation time in Taiwan.

I know I have been slacking updating my blog,

recently I took a trip back to Taiwan to see my family, I haven't been back to taiwan for a year,

so it was really nice back to home and just do NOTHING!

This is my niece she is two now, I spent most of time play with her during my trip.

beside doing nothing and playing with my niece I also eats really well every meal.

anyway, I am back to oakland now and I am all charge it ready to work!!

It have become my daily routine to check the on the birds. This morning, one of the egg hatched!!

Live TV : Ustream

I know I haven't been writing about my studio life for awhile.

It's because I took a long break after the holiday sale.

And now I think I am ready to work!! 

Yay, studio time!!

Empty Bowl Marathon!

The Berkeley Art Studio would like to give to those in need, and we need
your help.  We will be participating in The Empty Bowls Project.

The Empty Bowls Project is "a grassroots movement to help end hunger." 
The premise is simple: potters make bowls and then sell the bowls with
soup in order to raise money for a hunger charity.

The studio would like to participate in this worthy project.  During the
week of January 17th the Berkeley Art Studio will be open for people to
come make bowls.  The studio will donate clay and glazes.  If you want to come and make some bowls with us please let me know or call ASUC art studio :-)


And I will be in studio on Jan,18 and 19th. If you have time please come join us for this meaningful event.
if you have any questions please call us at

end of 2010

Tomorrow is last day of the year, look back this year I am really thankful for everything 

And I have been thinking what I can do to give back.

So I decided donate some money to animal organization that help with animal and environment.

But it become really hard for me to pick which one?

WWF or the Nature Conservancy?

 I did some research for it.

so I checked their webstie and Charity navigator 

and their review came out about the same.

In the end I pick WWF for this year, next year I will try the nature conservancy.

The reason I picked WWF is because they have something call Panda Page.

which can be a donation page for people comes to my page wants to donate money to WWF.

well...I still have to learn about that little bit more before I can really talk about it :-P

anyway, next year(in two days) I want to do more!!

not just for my pottery, but for animals too!

Happy new year, and thank you for reading my blog :-)
