Last Friday, the entire VIS community, both students and teachers alike, went to Yingge (鶯歌) for our semester's field trip! We divided into two groups: one began with ceramic making, while the other explored the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum (新北市立鶯歌陶瓷博物館). In the afternoon, we swapped to experience both sides of Yingge's pottery culture.

The highlight for many was certainly the pottery workshop. For a lot of students, it was their very first time using a potter's wheel! Under the guidance of the workshop instructors, students created beautiful bowls and cups, while some even challenged themselves with vases. 

At the museum, students explored exhibitions on Taiwan's ceramic heritage and completed worksheets that deepened their understanding of how indigenous culture and history are shaped through pottery.

A big thank-you to all the teachers and staff who made this trip possible! 

A portion of the photo credits goes to our G10 Owen Huang ~ thank you for capturing these moments so beautifully! 

上週五，VIS 全體師生一同前往鶯歌進行本學期的校外教學。學生分為兩組：一組先體驗陶藝製作，另一組則參觀新北市立鶯歌陶瓷博物館。午後兩組交換，讓每位學生都能兼得創作與觀展的雙重體驗。

備受大家喜愛的莫過於陶藝工作坊。許多同學首次接觸手拉坯機，在指導老師的細心帶領下，成就了一只只精巧的碗與杯；更有學生挑戰塑造花瓶，成果別具匠心。

在博物館中，學生漫步於展覽之間，體會臺灣陶瓷的歷史脈絡，並透過學習單，進一步認識原住民族群的製陶技術史。

謝謝全體教職員的用心籌劃，讓這趟旅程圓滿無瑕！

也特別感謝 G10 Owen Huang，協助拍攝，為我們留下這段難忘的回憶。
