朱義成 - Master Sculptor

朱義成 Is an incredible ceramic sculptor with a studio in LongTan and a second studio in the noted ceramics town of Yingge
There are a few photos of his home studio here >> http://taiwan2010.blogspot.com/2010/11/tsu-keng-yau.html

Here is a YouTube about him >>

Here are some of the works on display in his Yingge studio and showroom:

Note: His 2 most important statues ever, are in progress right now...hint. hint. hint...







 Very delicate and beautiful



 This is still too wet for very fine detail, but it looked very detailed to me.
He was working on it a little bit while we where there.


 This bronze is about 3 ft tall
