Born in 1970 in Chiayi, Taiwan, Yu-Ying Huang was raised in a farming family. Although soil, mud, and nature were no strangers to her when she grew up, she and clay did not officially meet until college, where she participated in a pottery making club. That’s when she met Professor Rhang-Nung Wu, the legendary Ceramist and pioneer in Taiwan’s ceramics history, who inspired her to go professional and pursue a career in ceramics.

In early 90’s, Yu-Ying debuted with her modern and distinct smoke-fired ceramics and instantly grabbed favorable attention. Over the years, her techniques have grown beyond just smoke-firing and into many inspiring glaze works, such as the dreamy Lavender Fields looking crystalline glaze, revolutionary revival of the long-lost “Leaf Tenmoku” techniques, and ultra-modern Ocean World inspired sculptural pieces. All of these inspiring works have earned her prestigious awards one after another and received international recognition. Some of her works were exhibited in top museums, such as the Louvre in Paris, or were acquired as a permanent collection.

In addition to an award-winning career in ceramics, Yu-Ying has an equally acclaimed career in teaching. In 2016, she was awarded the “Excellent Teacher Award”, the Nation’s Top Honor for a teacher, for her 23-yrs-and-counting contribution as an Art Teacher in Taipei Cheng-Gong High School.

Over the years, Yu-Ying Huang has established herself as one of the most acclaimed and best-known ceramists in Taiwan.

陶藝家黃玉英 1970 年出生於臺灣嘉義，從小在務農家庭長大的她，便與泥土和大自然結下不解之緣，然而一直到了大學時期，才真正開始接觸陶藝，在師大工藝系求學的日子裡，她師承臺灣陶藝傳奇先鋒吳讓農教授，打下紮實的基礎功，一步一步成為專業的陶藝家。

初入陶界的黃玉英，以獨樹一格的摩登燻燒作品迅速打響名號，1995 年便以燻燒作品「迴」獲得台北市立美術館永久典藏。從燻燒出發的她，不斷積極拓展陶藝領域，多年下來發展出許多廣受好評的系列作品，包括以法國普羅旺斯薰衣草田為靈感的結晶釉「薰衣草花田」釉色，極為摩登前衛的「海洋世界」系列，和復興且創新失傳數百年技法的「木葉天目」作品，讓她屢獲陶藝大獎肯定，且國內外展出邀約不斷，至今個展二十餘場，聯展逾百場，作品被典藏於美國當代陶藝博物館、日本常滑陶藝協會、中國大陸、愛爾蘭、愛沙尼亞、立陶宛等地，2014 年更以海洋世界作品「海闊任魚躍」受邀至法國巴黎羅浮宮博物館展出。

除了陶藝事業深受肯定，黃玉英亦投身教育界二十餘年，成績同樣斐然，在台北成功高中任教的她，2016 年獲頒「台北市特殊優良教師」獎，同年還得到國家教育最高榮譽「師鐸獎」之肯定。

致力做陶二十餘年，黃玉英已然成為臺灣最具國際知名度的陶藝家之一。
