Summary: | 碩士 === 亞太創意技術學院 === 茶陶創意研究所 === 106 === The tea set made by Taiwanese ceramic artist has not been popularly used by the
master who performs tea ceremony. It is mainly due to lacking of interaction and
communication of artists from these two fields. Most Taiwanese teapot artist are not
familiar with tea ceremony and unable to create a satisfying tea set which is needed and
appreciated by the tea masters. Based on the above, this research tends to educate
ceramic artists through a series of systematic lectures of introducing and promoting tea
arts. The lectures provided including how tea leaves are processed, tea ceremony and
the session and gathering of tea art. The ceramic artists may have more idea about the
functionality and the usage of teapot while attending exhibitions and competitions of tea
and tea brewing. It helps not only to develop the personal characteristic of individual
ceramic artist but also enhances the applicability of their productions.
In our study, a recirculated and conserved action model was used to design the
lectures and practicums. 21 ceramic artists who are learning tea ceremony in San-Yi
Contemporary Ceramic Gallery were recruited into the study. The program has lasted
for 3 years and 4 stages of re-circulated of action and teaching strategies was applied.
The teaching plan has been fulfilled through every action. Observations regarding the
interactions of tea gathering should be made and the data will be collected. In case of
unexpected problems occur, the lecture content and educational method should be
reviewed for improvement. The goal is to raise the knowledge about tea ceremony
among the attending ceramic artists to facilitate their ability for making teapots which
are welcomed by the tea masters.
The followings are this research conclusion: 1. The lecture provided has a deep
influence on the ceramic artists. It also changes their concepts of making tea set. 2. By
knowing the proper way to brew tea and learning “the relationship between tea brewing
and teapot making”, the ceramic artist acknowledged the importance of teapot to the
tea ceremony. 3. The ceramic artist has been benefited from the lecture to produce “the
suitable tea set for the tea master”. 4. Learning tea art has positive effects on helping
teapot artists to adjust their way to accommodate the tea ceremony. 5. Elevated the
levels of tea and it related ways of education. Our study contributed to the facts that the
teapots made by Taiwanese ceramic artist gradually fitted the needs of the field of tea
ceremony. It also bridges tea and ceramic arts in a way to integrated with each other.
This teaching model could be beneficial to its kind of education and can be further
promoted. It can serves as a reference and is worthy to be further investigated.
