[Senior and powerful pottery hand] - Wu Youbo, born in Yixing in 1966, was promoted to a national senior arts and crafts artist in 2016. In 1984, he started interning at Yixing Zisha Craft Factory in Jiangsu Province and studied under provincial masters Liu Jianping and Ding Hongshun. From 1986 to 1989, after three years of systematic professional theoretical study, strict training, hard training, and personal exploration by craftsmen, a solid foundation was laid for the development of skills.

The creative concepts of the works are mostly based on tradition, and at the same time, the strengths of other art categories are used to practice creation. The work pays equal attention to artistic sense and practical function, making it perfect for both viewing and collection.
