大學圖書館二樓門外的香草園，種植了超過二十種香草作物，天然獨特的香氣讓人心曠神怡，深入了解更會發現香草的各種療癒力。然而我們學習自然友善種植，最重要的是學養土，植物底下毫不起眼的泥土，不但支撐着植物的生長，也滋養着無數昆蟲和微生物。同樣是泥土，陶泥是富含礦物元素的粘土，可以揉搓出不同造型，經過高溫燒製成陶瓷。當我們專注地用雙手種植和搓泥，感受泥土的質地和溫度，其實也是一種「正念」的練習──學習留意自己當下的經歷，不需批判好與壞。參加工作坊的同學將會學習製作一件手捏的陶藝作品，並配上空氣草成為植物擺設，此外，導師亦會講解種植香草要訣。
In the Herb Garden located outside the 2/F entrance of the Main Library, you can find a variety of over 20 different herbs with their refreshing aromas and healing powers. As we practice eco-friendly gardening, the most important thing to learn is to nurture healthy soil. It not only supports the growth of plants, but also provides a habitat for insects and microbes. Another special type of soil, clay can be moulded in shapes and hardened when fired at high temperature, giving us the ceramics we so often use in daily life. When we concentrate on making the soil, we can feel its texture and temperature. This is somehow a way to practise ‘mindfulness’ – being aware of the present moment and without being judgemental. Participants in this workshop will learn to make a handbuilt ceramic piece, which will then attach to an air plant as an ornament. In addition, our friendly instructors will also share their tips on growing herbs.

Bio of Instructor(s) 導師簡介:
Mr. Gary Tse
一切由泥土開始。2003年投入香草種植及有機耕作。現半職交替，種植與陶藝。
Ms. Fanny Sit
Fanny 的第一位啟蒙老師是位日本陶藝大師，自此開啟了她之後的陶藝之路。其後她師承多位來自不同文化背景的老師，學習到的不僅是技巧，更有想法、修為及態度。
Fanny起初學陶只是為了陶冶性情，漸漸她發現習陶是種修練，在整個製作的過程，跟隨陶泥的節奏，放空冥想，透過每個細節引發思考，找到內心的平靜。
Fanny 創辦 Tung Ceramics Studio，從外形到工序、從陶泥到釉藥，都滿載 Fanny對陶藝美學的心思及堅持。
