陶藝、雕塑、複合媒材、琉璃珠

築陶工作室負責人徐文浩以專注的心及充滿手感的風格來製作每一件雅緻的生活陶，例如造型可愛討喜餅乾擴香及陶動物偶，茶具組…等裝點居家，具心靈療癒及體貼使用設計感，與坊間小清新文青風格的作品有別於，近年來陶藝產品著重發揮使用在地的材料特色作為設計發展方向。

古靈精怪

築陶工作室發起人徐文浩其創作體材來自最深刻的兒時記憶,他喜歡帶著捕蟲網跟小魚小蟲玩耍，童年時光多半花在與小動物為伍的繽紛世界,也奠定了日後每件創作的基礎。

黏土在他的雙手捏塑成形彷彿有種魔法般隨心所向而樸拙童趣，但轉眼又沉靜內斂；在出窯狂喜的瞬間一一破土誕生，並從大自然豐富知識寶庫中汲取創作的靈感，藉著黏土形塑及窯火焠煉發揮到淋漓盡致。

師法自然

他善於用自然界的色調，如海洋色澤及大自然孕育的萬物眾生獨特的配色,造型成為他的創作資料庫，潮間帶的彈塗魚或貝殼，抑或是森林中古老樹洞夜裡的精靈─貓頭鷹，略帶點幽默風格的混搭調便成為作品的特色;於是為貓頭鷹點綴做的翅膀有著葉子的紋路、頭上長了蝴蝶觸角像是達利的軟鐘一般慵懶的垂掛，在趣味橫生的大眼貓頭鷹系列(ooowl)的作品中巧妙反映，也是他所有的幻想與情感的投射所在。

Zhu-Tao Ceramic Studio 

【Wen-Hao Hsu】 Pottery, sculpture, mixed media product design, beads making

Owner of Chiu-Tao Studio designs every pottery piece of his with his heart and agile hands—adorable fragrance bottles and pottery animal dolls, tea sets (pots and cups).  Different from the common designs attempting to give people a refreshing impression only, Hsu’s works may functions as kitchenware but may also warm one’s heart; furthermore, these pieces well follow the current trend of showcasing local cultural and artistic flavor.

Eccentricity is the world Hsu Wen-Hao, the founder of Zhu-Tao ceramic studio, had a childhood that differed from others. When his peers played marbles and jumped ropes, he spent his time with fishes and bugs. Majority of his childhood was about memorizing and reciting names of butterflies and greeneries, or observing ants fertilizing inside his glass jars. Looking back at the whimsical youth, he felt as if something magical was present, at his disposal. As clay molds and shapes in his hands, and falls silent in a blink of an eye—until they come out of the kiln serendipitously. He is eccentric and imaginative. Intricate observation of animals and plants is his daily routine. Inspirations he acquire from nature is his most treasured wealth, that takes form in the real world with clay and fire. 

" Apprentice from nature." Hsu Wen-Hao is a keen observer of colors in nature. The design and hue of all sentient beings nurtured by nature is his creative database. Mudskipper and shells at the intertidal zone, or the spirit living in tree hollows of ancient forests—owls, all came from a small piece of data from the nature within him, and a mixed style with a touch of humor is his signature. Therefore, the owls’ wings are decorated with leaf patterns, butterfly antenna on the head hanged like Dali’s clock, and the big bright eyes depict a part of him. This intriguing series, OOOWL, is the reflection and projection of his fantasy and sentiments. 

"Everyday scenery."  Hsu Wen-Hao hopes that his work can appear in someone’s everyday scenery. Shell vase, animal series, he is proficient in using different ratio of nerikomi, mud, or decorative liquid gold on the exterior, accentuating the charm of glaze less surface that can be soft and smooth or rough and primitive. Partial glaze is a technique that allows a variety of combinations. The emphasis of his ceramic work is the communication of emotions, not a blind pursuit of realism or imitation. He hopes that the inspirations from nature can enrich his life and the life of others, so that even when displayed quietly on a shelf, or even the lawn of someone's garden, his work can make them more adorable.
