In 1974 he rented a workshop in Yingko of about 200 square feet with a potter's wheel and some second-hand glazing accessories. There, he went hard at work forming, using the glazes he had developed from many years of toil. Because he couldn't afford his own kiln, he rented one nearby.
他在鶯歌租下一間六、七坪大的工作室，一台拉坯機、一些老舊的二手配釉機具，克難地拉出坯體，施上苦心試驗的釉色，由於無力負擔窯爐成本，便在附近租窯燒製。
