顏亦慈／小孩畫畫 媽媽制器 Yen Yitzu／Collaboration Between Mom and Son
以創作陶工藝出發，2017年回歸陶藝創作的顏亦慈，以個人創作者身份將自身所思所想轉化於陶作，成為個人心緒的出口。溫潤質感中可見帶有母親的身份認同、個人角色的重新建構，以及自身與動物、物體的比擬與想像。時而受邀參與舉辦聯展及個展，透過展覽進行銷售，《Those on my shoulder.》即於2023年的個展《日常對望》展出之作，也有來自社群的少量訂製訂單。而畢業自師資培訓的大學，亦熟稔陶作工藝，顏亦慈創作的同時，也進行教學工作，以陶工藝為主軸帶來多面向的商業模式。
2019年創立「小孩畫畫 媽媽制器」品牌後，顏亦慈嘗試與兒子一同於文創市集裡擺攤，販售品牌共創的生活陶商品，也擺上個人的創作陶作品，從中學習擺攤的陳列、觀察並歸納出與顧客的溝通互動方式，從中直接搜集反饋，進而幫助陶藝創作發展，以及參與市集銷售方式的再思考。
Returning to ceramics in 2017, Yen Yitzu transformed her personal thoughts and emotions into ceramic creations, providing a creative outlet as an individual artist. Her works, marked by a warm and gentle texture, reflect themes of motherhood, her identity, and her imaginative comparisons between herself, animals, and objects. Occasionally invited to participate in group and solo exhibitions, she uses these opportunities to sell her works. "Those on my Shoulder" was showcased in her 2023 solo exhibition "Daily Gazes". She also receives limited orders through social media. A graduate of a teacher training university with a strong foundation in ceramics, Yen complements her creative work with teaching, using pottery as the core to develop a multifaceted business model.
In 2019, Yen founded "Collaboration Between Mom and Son" and began showcasing co-created pottery with her children at craft markets, alongside her own ceramic artworks. These markets became a learning ground where she learned to display her works, observed customer interactions, and collected valuable feedback. This experience not only shaped the development of her ceramic art but also inspired her to reimagine sales strategies for artisan goods.

Yen Yitzu／Collaboration Between Mom and Son
"Collaboration Between Mom and Son" is an artistic project led by Yen Yi-tzu, a ceramic artist born in 1984. Yen collaborates with her two sons, who are currently in grades six and three, while maintaining her individual brand. Having been introduced to ceramics and various craft materials during her university years, Yen built a solid foundation in ceramic techniques. Her education in the Netherlands further expanded her creative perspective through performance and installation art.
After becoming a mother, Yen felt a sharp contrast between her roles and returned to ceramics as a means of reconnecting with the raw, tactile nature of materials. When her sons’ creative expressions blossomed at age five, their question, "Why doesn’t Mom make my drawings?" inspired her to incorporate their doodles into ceramic designs, enhancing them with glazes. This approach is evident in her piece Insect Vase, capturing her children’s interpretations of the world through ceramic artistry. Yen frequently participates in crafts markets and holds exhibitions, navigating her dual identities under both "Collaboration Between Mom and Son" and her personal brand, "Yen Yit-zu"
