美濃窯
座落於青翠山谷中的「 靈山 」山麓下 ( 有著名的觀光登山步道 ) 花葉扶疏,環境幽美,庭園中擺置許多陶壁藝術,緊鄰著美濃開基伯公,這裡是 280 年前祖先首先來開墾、落腳立基之處。稟著客家人刻苦耐勞堅毅的個性,創辦人朱邦雄博士於1987年將陶磁業帶回故鄉,在這個素無陶瓷工業的環境裡,非常艱辛地紮根、推展陶藝事業,為故鄉打造出藝術新形象,創立文化與觀光產業相接合的新契機,這種氣象影響所及,讓許多年輕的有知之士競相還鄉共襄盛舉;更從爾開始催生了「
陶壁公共藝術 」的新名詞,立下新的藝術形象,在當前全世界風行的公共藝術領域中為台灣做出重大的貢獻,因此提到「美濃窯」就是陶壁公共藝術的代名詞。
早在30年前,朱邦雄博士就提出了「文化創意產業」的建構思想,此後意圖整合臺灣城市建構的藝術氛圍而開始創作大型陶壁作品,至今無人能出其右。從他的情感來看,對家鄉美濃可算是情深意重,他把發揚陶壁藝術而獲致的冠冕榮耀鄉里;從藝術修養格局來說,朱博士的胸懷與他的作品一樣寬廣且張力無窮,壯闊而獨樹一幟的陶壁公共藝術遍佈台灣各地;目前朱博士仍繼續從事創作中,未曾一日間斷。
Located in Meinung, Kaohusiung, under Mountain Ling and the blessing of Shrine of Kaiji Land Deity,
Meinung Yao inherits every good quality of Hakka culture. Having no ceramic industries.
it was tough for Dr. Chu to introduce and popularize the beauty of ceramics at first. However, with unflinching passion, not only has he established the ceramic industry with his bare hands, he also coined the term "
public ceramic relief mural", allowing Taiwan to join famous public art trend all over the world. Hence, it is fair to say that Meinung Yao is the term for public ceramic relief murals and its origin.
Dr. Chu addressed the idea of cultural and creative industries 30 years ago. His intention of integrating the capital structures all over Taiwan by creating large ceramic murals is still unprecedented.
