"In my work, I try to embody the meaningful moments in my life every day. The ceramic works about shadow and three-dimensional image in my works are the continuous exploration between image and object, concrete and abstract, form and formless.
My work comes from my life. The process usually starts with photos or videos, and then transforms these brief moments into three-dimensional form. "Tree Crown" and "Tree Crown II" two pieces of ceramics works are inspired by observing the light passing through the trees and sidewalks. "
——Firth MacMillan
In this masterclass, we will study ceramic technology from the perspective of art therapy. We will use clay as a material, by letting go of expectations, accepting the progress of things, and learning to enjoy the production process without being affected by the results. In order to calm down anxiety, cultivate clarity and generate ideas, we will practice how to understand and control the current consciousness and enjoy the production process. With our hands on the clay, we will learn to integrate ourselves into our inner world by touching and breathing.
