When making choices, a person may easily become lost. As a ceramic teacher, I often think about what I can do as an artist to make teaching more meaningful. Hand throw pots and over glaze painting methods are the most popular traditional ceramic making methods in China. Despite the fact that many people have abandoned tradition, I chose it as one of the most important elements in my work. People are attracted by my work and I am able to make them appreciate the process of making. That is the choice I made to make clay grow into something meaningful in my life.
