AN ARTIST'S LIFE IN JINGDEZHEN, CHINA

摘要

For the past nine years, I have been traveling to China to spend my summers in Jingdezhen, known as the "porcelain city of China." This historic city has been producing ceramics for seventeen hundred years, with the first porcelains invented over one thousand years ago. Living and creating abroad has both challenged and rewarded me as an artist. The translation from low-temperature earthenware sculpture created in my Minnesota studio to pure white high-temperature porcelain in Jingdezhen has been a fascinating journey and almost as daunting as trying to learn the Chinese language.
