The thick-walled room’s cave-darkness,
cool in summer, soothes
by saying, This is the truth, not the taut
cicada-strummed daylight.
Rest here, out of the flame- the thick air’s
stirred by the fan’s four
slow-moving spoons; under the house the stone
has its feet in deep water.
Outside, even the sun god, dressed in this life
as a lizard, abruptly rises
on stiff legs and descends blasé toward the shadows.

- At Noon (1981) by Reginald Gibbons

好久沒po文了（羞）
上個月去島作陶作集時，待辦事項其中特別期待的就是去 的展位再帶個大盤回家。上一屆在島作買的盤幾乎天天在我們家餐桌上出現，無論是承裝烤馬鈴薯或炒青菜，自在的藍綠色塊與線條都使食物顯得美味，使餐桌添增質感，使主婦我心情大好。結果一到展位之旋說：大盤都已完售！😱真是晴天霹靂....
所以我們就請之旋將作品帶來工作室了🎉目前只有限量的青花中型盤展售，期待未來之旋將更多樣的作品在Make No Haste分享！

關於作品，她說：「很難將自己的作品直接對應到其他陶藝作家，但是在藝術上，一直以來很喜歡James Turrell的光與色彩裝置作品 Ｍark Rothko的抽象表現油畫，或是構成主義的El Lissitzky的平面設計。跨越傳統藝術的具象，透過色彩與精簡構成表現人類情感的藝術形式，多少影響到自己的創作。 」

歡迎前來或私訊詢問。

I had purchased a plate from the last time I went to Island Craft Fair and it appears almost daily on our dining table. Whether it’s roasted potatoes or stir fry, the easy greens and blues make the food seem more appetizing and our dining table more beautiful, and my time in the kitchen even more worthwhile 😆 So last month when I went again, getting a similar piece from her was high on my list. But when I got to her booth, she was sold out!😱
So… we brought her to Make No Haste (for not totally selfish reasons)! Currently there are only a few medium size plates, but we look forward to sharing much more of her work here in the future.

About her work, she says, “It’s hard to trace my influences directly from other potters, but artistically, I’ve always liked the light and colors in James Turrell’s work and the Rothko’s abstract paintings, or the Constructivist El Lissitzky’s graphic designs. Works that transcend realism and instead express human emotions through colors and simple composition appeal to me and influence my work.”

Feel free to inquire in person or by DM.

乙萱老師的展覽開展了！
歡迎預約看老師的新作～

我們將於以下日期公休，請留意：1/30（週二）以及2/8-2/14之間。2/15起正常開放。快來為自己留下兔年的作品吧！

Please note that we’ll be closed on the following days: Jan 30 (Tues) and between Feb 8-Feb 14 for Lunar New Year. Looking forward to seeing you 🐲

Dorion 的作品又進貨了！上次很快完售的碗（三個尺寸）及馬克杯在店裡都買得到了。數量有限，趁著今天美好陽光來逛逛😍 也歡迎私訊詢問！

We have more of Dorion’s pieces back in stock - mugs, tumblers, bowls - come by and take a look before they’re gone.

提醒大家：明天（1/13）工作室開放時間是13：00-18：00（早上課程取消一次），投完票後歡迎來自習喔！

A friendly reminder that we’re open from 13:00-18:00 tomorrow (1/13), morning classes are canceled this week. See you then!

2024年一開始，我們就共度了有趣的燒陶經驗！
謝謝 的帶領，讓我們體驗刺激又令人驚艷的樂燒工作坊。作陶通常是獨自進行的事，但燒製卻常是特別需要夥伴的工作。捏好的土乾燥了只是第一步；信任夥伴、信任火、信任未知，在灰燼中都能獲得發光的回饋。

On one of the first days of 2024, a few of us from the studio shared a fun firing experience! Thanks to for leading us in an exciting and mesmerizing Raku workshop!
Making of pottery is usually done alone, but firings like these usually take a team. When pieces leave your hands to dry, it’s only the beginning. Learn to trust your teammates, trust the fire, trust the unpredictable, and you shall recover treasures in the ashes.

聖誕節已過，團聚和分享的季節還沒過完 。一人兩人的零食，三人五人的點心...如果你還想為年節桌上增添溫暖巧思，歡迎將 的作品帶回家。工作室所剩的件數不多，請留意最近再次進貨的訊息！如果有意選購但無法親自前來，歡迎私訊詢問。

Christmas has passed, but the season of gathering and sharing is far from over. If you’re looking for pieces to add to your holiday table, please consider ‘s beautiful work. We still have a few pieces in the studio, and will make another announcement as soon as we restock! Please DM to inquire.

Moments from the workshop and some of the teapots made. Thanks again to for sharing your experience and insight 🫖

上個月茶壺工作坊的片段及部份學員的成品。再次感謝 的分享及指導🫖

讓我們照顧彼此與自己，讓我們照護自己內在的和平，才能開始在外在世界以及彼此之間探尋和平。

May we take care of each other and ourselves, may we protect the peace within ourselves so we may seek peace in the world and with each other.

Make No Haste已成立近兩年（什麼？！）
當初的夢想就是將我們欣賞喜愛的makers聚集在一起，讓更多人認識他們的作品和他們的故事。
所以我們非常興奮的跟您分享，Make No Haste已開始在工作室展售Dorion Berg的陶作以及Toj Balam豹郎咖啡的咖啡豆！

這週六（11/11）下午1-5點，歡迎您來認識Dorion的陶作。Dorion是位在台灣多年的加拿大籍陶藝家，有著多年嘗試所累積下來的大量經驗與作品，並在火、土與礦釉中，探索陶器不同的美感和無限的可能；作品的宗旨是在創作生活陶器的同時並賦予日常生活中各式器皿靈魂和趣味，讓使用者透過日常儀式，與隱藏於表面之下的真實展開，對話 。

另外，也想歡迎您來嚐嚐Toj Balam主理人「豹郎大叔」Carlos親自從瓜地馬拉帶來及親自烘製的微批次精品咖啡。共有日曬厭氧六個品種，風味濃郁驚艷，絕對打破您對瓜地馬拉咖啡的印象。

這是與陶作家和咖啡小農直接對話的難得機會～
我們也期待跟新朋友老朋友聊聊，無論您想開始學陶但不知從何開始，或是想聽聽我們關於工作室未來的計畫....歡迎來坐坐！

Dorion Berg Ceramics
Toj Balam 豹郎咖啡

We’re happy to announce some exciting news: we’ve started carrying the work of a couple of makers we admire - Dorion Berg Ceramics and Toj Balam.

We want more people to know about them and what they do, and we’re hosting an Open House this Saturday afternoon (Nov 11)! Please come try some of Carlos’ coffee and see Dorion’s ceramic work, this will be a rare opportunity to chat with the makers themselves!

Dorion Berg is a Canadian ceramic artist living in Taipei. He began his clay studies in high school as an apprentice potter before completing a BFA in Montreal. After moving Taiwan in 2002, he returned to making functional pottery, studying traditional wood-firing and Chinese teaware. At his studio beside Tiger Mountain, he produces wheel-thrown functional and decorative ceramics.

Toj Balam is a coffee brand by Carlos Gonzalez, a native from Antigua, Guatemala. After living in Switzerland for over 20 years as a photographer, Carlos returned to Guatemala in 2018 to craft his father’s coffee farm Finca El Guyabal into a specialty coffee practice, using natural processing as opposed to the traditional full-washed method to conserve water. “Toj Balam” comes from his mother’s Mayan symbol “toj” meaning light and his own “Balam” meaning leopard. Carlos and his team create their coffee with the utmost care and highest standards. He comes to Taiwan in 2023 with six delicious varietals to share with coffee lovers.

We look forward to seeing and chatting with you!

⋐ 老師介紹 PART III ⋑

大學因為系上的必修課開始接觸陶藝，當時沒想到畢業後還會持續做陶，現在想就算到了80歲也應該還會繼續做吧。

❝做陶是跟自己獨處的時間，不管是拉坏還是手捏，透過手感知陶土的狀態，腦海中想像每一步的走向，默默跟自己對話。❞

🤘周伶老師目前每週六上午都有教授課程。更多細節請至報名表單：

Ling took ceramics at university as a requirement and she didn’t know it would become such an important part of her life, still now. She’ll probably continue making until she’s 80…

❝ Making pottery is time spent with oneself. Whether it’s hand building or wheel throwing, it’s like a silent conversation with myself, led by the tactile experience of clay and the path of its next steps in my imagination.❞

🤘 Ling teaches every Saturday morning, see more details on our sign up form:

有幸在大學時期參與陶藝社，讓安子踏入捏陶的世界中。在接觸陶藝後，更在生活的細節上留心，像是喜歡多大容量的碗盤，又或是開始觀察自己慣用幾根手指將水杯拿起，每次的留意都期許做出更符合使用者的食器（陶器）。

❝我覺得陶土是擁有記憶性的，很容易感受到創作者的心情跟狀態，往往會將最真實的自己呈現在作品上。而當我意識到陶土已經融入生活的一部分時，我就知道這是我想一直做下去的事情之一。持續的練習及培養耐心，除了做出自己喜歡的作品外，也利用做陶的時光，學習多跟自己相處。❞

Anko joined pottery club in college and have been working with clay ever since. She has made a habit of paying attention to the small details in daily life - the suitable sizes of bowls and plates, how many fingers she uses to hold a mug… each time she notices is an aspiration to make an even better pot the user would enjoy.

Anko believes that clay has memory. It also reflects the state and emotions of the maker, often showing a truest side of her in the work. ❝ When I realized that my life has become inseparable with clay, I knew this was one of the things I want to keep doing. ❞ she says. Continuing practice and cultivating patience - besides making pieces she likes, making pottery is also a practice to be with oneself.

🤘Anko teaches every Saturday morning! Come join her or to see additional details:

原預計出國進修的乙萱，因疫情接觸陶藝而轉換跑道，細膩的將特效化妝背景運用在陶瓷藝術上，創作唯妙唯肖的雕塑作品。

關於陶藝，乙萱說：
❝陶土就像是一面鏡子，因為它能真實地反映出我在製作時的心情。

自從接觸到陶土後，透過觀察，練習掌控陶土的節奏，我放慢了自己的心 ，製作的每一個步驟都必須確實執行。

沒有投機，沒有捷徑——這是我從陶土中學到的重要教訓。

儘管這些道理很簡單，但在科技便利的現代社會，要真正貫徹這些原則並不容易。❞

Yi Hsuan is one of the three brilliant teachers we work with and we’re excited to share more about her! Yi Hsuan comes from a background in special effects makeup in film. Like many people, her trajectory was shifted by the pandemic and she decided to use her mad skills to make incredible ceramic sculptures.

Yi Hsuan has this to say about working in ceramics,
❝ Clay is like a mirror, for it authentically reflects my emotions while making.
Ever since I’ve started my journey with clay, I’ve been forced to slow down internally, making sure every step has been done properly.
No cutting corners, no shortcuts— this is the most important lesson I’ve learned from clay. In a society where convenience and efficiency often trump everything, that principle is easier said than done. ❞
