Ceramic
This page showcases my exploration of ceramics, where hand-building, sculptural forms, and glaze techniques come together to tell stories. My ceramic practice transforms and integrates cultural heritage, illustration, and spatial design, creating unique pieces that celebrate tradition and craftsmanship. Each work reflects my passion for storytelling, preserving cultural narratives through form, texture, and surface.

Celebrating the Chinese Cultural Heritage
​
Celebrating the Chinese Cultural Heritage explores Chinese festival performances in London’s Chinese New Year, including Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, Ying Ge Dance, and the Hanfu Parade. It preserves traditions through collective memory, linking past, present, and future.
The project transforms these traditions into illustration, animation, mask and costume design, ceramics, and an interactive website. These forms make cultural heritage more accessible and engaging.​
In the transformation stage, I explore ceramics as a way to reinterpret and share cultural heritage.
A Dog Dressed in Lion Dance Costume (Ceramic Animation)
A Dog dressed in a Lion Dance Costume is a ceramic sculpture that explores the diverse ways of celebrating cultural heritage, including how pets become part of festive traditions and dressed in the traditional lion dance costume.
Flying Lion Plate
Flying Lion Plate is a ceramic plate that combines illustration with traditional Chinese animal motifs, depicting a lion soaring through the sky to symbolize prosperity and strength. Designed in the shape of a peach blossom, the plate embodies good fortune, as peach blossoms are traditionally associated with love, vitality, and auspicious beginnings in Chinese culture.

The Ying-Ge Dance Character Costume and Mask Design Plate
Inspired by the dynamic energy of the Ying Ge Dance Performance, these ceramic plates showcase the costume and mask design of Ying-Ge Dance characters, Shi Qian and Sun Erniang The blue-and-white motifs blend traditional ceramic art with costume and mask design. The use of blue is inspired by classic Chinese porcelain, a ceramic art that originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished during the Ming Dynasty. By intergrating this timeless aesthetic with contemporary interpretations, these ceramic works bridge past and present, offering a new perspective on cultural heritage in design.
