Xuezhi LIU is a ceramist based in Guangzhou and London. She splits her time between the two cultures and creates limited editions to express herself. All hand-built by her, the projects have been exhibited/sold in the UK, France and China. She holds a Master (2016) and a Bachelor(2013) of Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London), and after coming back to China, she furthered her study in Jingdezhen.
My inspiration is from the craft of fashion creating, such as pattern cutting.
Describe your creative process.
In my work I combine contemporary design with traditional craft skills, I explore clothing making techniques by crossing ceramics skills, to find out the language between ceramics and tailoring. I also use paper clay to mimic the detail in clothing.
