*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟏𝟎 / ~* A montage of kiln 4 unloading, after three days of slow firing to 1280 degrees and two days of cooling down. With the help from one of the advisors Luke, I had a successful firing (which might not always be the case in ceramics). I sometimes even miss the beeping sound of the kiln controller, hence no trending audio for this one. On the 22nd April, I am partnering with @laichankee for an artist talk (in Cantonese) about my residency at the EKWC @ekwc_oisterwijk where I will speak in detail about my journey there - registration link in bio. - 呢條片記錄咗我起荷蘭EKWC @ekwc_oisterwijk 其中一次岀窯嘅過程，燒咗三日三夜再加兩日降溫，慶幸安全燒成。我覺得呢個窯好特別，平時嘅窯都係手動打開窯門，但呢個窯係好似個盒咁，打開嘅時候成個蓋會向上升，仲會有特別嘅聲效。好高興嚟緊可以同泥塵記合作，起 4月22號星期三香港時間晚上六點網上分享我今次駐場創作嘅經驗同成果，有興趣可以起info box連結報名。🫶🏼

This clip shows coils being pinched and laid, slowly building the vessels in my studio at the European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC @ekwc_oisterwijk ) These clay vessels/formers took weeks to dry before entering the kiln, where they were fired to 1280°C. 📷 @renevanderhulst #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #stones

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟖 / ~* Being free from the limitation of kiln size seems unrealistic in ceramics, yet that’s how I feel when I was working at the @ekwc_oisterwijk I was able to go as big as I can. With this specific stone casting technique I first started with a series of small test piece, later on through overcoming technical challenges such as firing schedule and firing temperature, I was able to create my largest piece ever. Here is a closer look into the details, and two behind-the-scenes clips comparing the size of a test piece to the actual piece, when they were sitting in the spray cabin. 📷 @renevanderhulst #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #stones #cremerging @ceramicsreview

*~/ 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓔𝓢𝓘𝓓𝓔𝓝𝓒𝓨 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟕 / ~* In ceramics, three months of time can go by very quickly as some of you might already know, the making itself is just part of it, and there also comes with time for drying, kiln packing, firing and unloading. With that said I felt the same for my time at the EKWC @ekwc_oisterwijk conducting both making and research at the same time within a 3-months residency felt challenging, yet with the support I received I felt confident in what I was able to bring together in the end. The five vessels shown here are part of my research into experimental glaze casting. By subverting the traditional ceramic processes, I returned to the nature of glaze itself, melting shards of stones within hand-coiled forms. Fired to over 1260°C, these vessels might be seen as man-made lava—where material, process, and chance meet. Deliberately moving away from the use of clay, the works you see here are formed from pure stone and glaze materials—where boundaries between structure and surface begin to dissolve, materials shift between holding and melting. 📷 @renevanderhulst

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟔/ ~* As I wrapped up my residency at the @ekwc_oisterwijk I had the pleasure to work with @renevanderhulst photographing my work. Perhaps I don’t post enough of my face here, as I’d like to keep the focus on my work and the making process of it. Anyways here you go, here is a rare one, a picture of myself (not covered in dust) and my work captured by René. As I settle back to my studio and daily routine I will post more work photos and studio shots about the residency. #contemporaryceramics #ceramics

*~ / 𝓔𝓚𝓦𝓒 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂 𝟓 / ~* As my residency began to draw to a close, I found myself spending most of my time in the spray cabin — which slowly became my favourite place to be. The lighting felt almost futuristic, and the constant white noise of the extraction system was strangely soothing. It was there that I de-moulded all my pieces from the hand-coiled ceramic shell moulds, before cold-working and polishing the surfaces. Some of the works were heavy and difficult to move around, and I’m very grateful for the help of one of the advisors, @tjalling_quinten_mulder at the @ekwc_oisterwijk . This series has been physically demanding to make, with many techincal limitations to work through and around. Despite that, I’m incredibly excited to share this new body of work with you soon, a collection based on alternative glaze casting. #contemporaryceramics #ceramics #ceramicsculpture #stones #glaze @ceramicreview

Collect @collectartfair officially ended yesterday, it was lovely meeting you all in person. A huge thank you to @countyhallpottery and the team for having me and putting the show so nicely together, it was lovely to be showcasing my work alongside other talented artists. 📷exhibition images by Reinis Lismanis @reinislismanis #contemporaryceramics #collect2026 @craftscouncil
