Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
This introductory workshop, led by Wong Ching Yee (Jenny) 黃靜儀, invites participants to discover the unique properties of clay as a material, explore ceramics as a process, and gain an appreciation of the many languages and expressions of clay.
There will be a hands-on making session in which participants will experiment with foundational hand-building techniques (pinching, coiling, and slab building). Jenny will also share insights from her studio practice – from practical considerations to the more philosophical and esoteric dimensions.
At the conclusion of the session, participants will be invited to participate in creating a collaborative, site-responsive, ephemeral installation with their clay experimentations.
Please note this is a clay play workshop focused on experimentation. There will be no raw or kiln-fired products created to take home.
Crafting Sydney Through Hand and Clay is presented as part of Ceramic Business District for Sydney Craft Week.
About the Artist
Wong Ching Yee (Jenny) 黃靜儀 is a Hong Kong-born art worker currently based in Gadi/Sydney following a decade of international nomadism.
Jenny works across ceramics, non-lens-based photography, moving image, and research-and-site-responsive installations. Through material investigation and object-centred inquiry, her studio practice speaks to belonging, transcultural narratives, and the layered stories embedded within objects and places.
