The Exotic Teapot

Hsin-Chuen Lin attributes his pottery to the Sung Dynasty (960-1279).  With all these years of Chinese cultural resource, Lin believes the creation of new ceramic pieces is endless.  However, he readily admits that the exposure to contemporary processes in ceramics has allowed him the freedom and spontaneity to integrate the old and new.  For example, he does not embellish this teapot as the form is its beauty; yet, he uses a spray bottle full of glaze to lightly tint the piece.
