Current and Upcoming Residencies/Symposiums

Taoxichuan Art Center

Residency: May 12 - July 30, 2025

Public Lecture: July 25, 16:30, S3

Workshop: June 30 - July 4, 2025

This course will cover two aspects of creating a ceramic sculpture: building and decorating. Participants will learn how to design and build an abstract figurative form using the coil building technique and how to transform the surface into the canvas for narrative underglaze painting. We cover all the pros and cons of hand-building and address all the problems of the process. I’ll demonstrate how to use carving techniques to add nature-inspired elements to the surface and how to use underglazes to paint realistically rendered imagery to create a narrative. Participants don’t need to know how to paint, but basic understanding of the ceramic process is recommended.

My New Ceramic Studio in York, SC

One of the reasons why we ended up in South Carolina is the opportunity to build a studio space where I can make ceramics, paint and give private lessons and workshops.

The project has begun right before the Christmas of 2022, and it took me almost a year to find a contractor who can build my dream space. I still see it as a magical transformation of a 2-car garage into an artist studio.
The space has three separate areas: on the ground floor - "dirty" clay studio and kiln/storage area; on the second floor there are a "clean" painting space with a reading nook, a photo corner, a small bathroom and a large storage area for packing materials.

The studio had been finished and I finally moved in! Now its time to make new work!
