My first brief encounter with pottery was in my secondary school days. But I went on to focus on Chinese Painting subsequently and only re-connected with clay in recent years. Since then, Chinese painting and pottery have complemented each other and blended fittingly into my lifestyle.

In pottery, the most interesting moment is each time when I opened the kiln door to reveal my fired clay pieces. It's always a great suspense for I never know if the fired effects will turn out to be happiness or disappointment for me. Nevertheless, the opportunity to witness my clay work being transformed into a ceramic art piece is truly the greatest attraction for me. Moreover, pottery is a wonderful and fulfilling activity for a wholesome lifestyle.
