Workshop Description

In this workshop I’ll talk about how I observe and translate the world around me to create my abstracted ceramic sculptures. I will be showing my handbuilding techniques and process as well as explaining how I glaze and fire my work.

Jing Huang was born and raised in P.R China. Jing received a BA from Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in 2012 and her Advanced Diploma from Sheridan College in 2015. In 2020, she graduated from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University with an MFA in ceramic art. She is currently an artist in residence at KC Clay Guild in Kansas City, MO.

Jing’s explorations are guided by the experiences and feeling of being caught in the spaces among different cultures, landscape, daily surroundings, and languages. As she moves around, her work continues to change and is ongoing. Jing is a chronic shifter and seeker – drawn to environments, ‘landscapes’ and new ‘contexts’ for herself to be and the work to become.
