Elizabeth Jackson

TUTORS:
Annette Lindenberg
Annette Lindenberg is a German/British ceramicist, originally from Austria, who specialises in Kurinuki; the rarely practiced Japanese method of hollowing and carving blocks of clay. It is through this meditative and ancient form of making that she excavates her work to find the forms within.
Annette is an MA Graduate of the RCA where she explored unusual methods of glazing and making. Her keen interest in the science of ceramics often informs her making process, while her intuitive forms stem from the considered, reflective approach she uses while making. Annettes works have been shown at the likes of Collect 2022, the London Art Fair and the British Art Fair at Saatchi.

Eugene ( Yung Cheuk ) Chung
Eugene first discovered working with clay when he was taught to handbuild by an art school teacher in 2010. Regard to the shortage of ceramics courses in Hong Kong, he later then moved to London and studied for a bachelor's degree in Central Saint Martins (2016), a master's degree in Royal College of Art in ceramics (2018).
His work involves a lot of throwing, press moulding and slip casting. It allows him to have the flexibility to make each one unique by distorting the form and have a standard quality of shape and scale to unify them. Decorating slip, onglaze enamel and underglaze pencil are the elements for him to decorate the surface and provide them a character with the illustrative pattern he developed through his sketchbook. The outcome of his work attempt to discover the purity of the designed components and provide them a different context.
