In the third edition of Ceramics Conversations, Singaporean ceramicists Emily Moh, Hans Chew and Nelson Lim will be sharing on the idea of telling stories using ceramic sculptures, coupled with wood, plastic and metal.
The artists will reveal the thought processes behind their creative practice. They will speak about their achievements and challenges in fulfilling their artistic visions both locally and internationally in China and Japan.
About the speakers
Emily Moh is a multidisciplinary creative designer with over three decades of experience. In 2012, she began her journey into ceramics under the mentorship of master potter Lim Kim Hui of Ceramic House.
Since then, Emily has cultivated a practice rooted in tradition, crafting intricately textured surfaces that harmonise with her organic, whimsical forms. Deeply inspired by nature’s ever-evolving relationships, her work radiates emotion and quiet storytelling.
Hans Chew graduated with a BFA majoring in ceramics from Tama Art University, Tokyo, Japan and is currently a ceramic artist based in Singapore. His works often deal with themes of foreignness, discord and nostalgia.
As clay is a highly tactile medium, Hans strongly believes that the ability to think with both hands is equally as important as the ability to conceptualise and communicate oneʼs thoughts.
Nelson Lim was awarded a Diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in ceramics, at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and a MFA in Applied Arts (Ceramics) at Tainan National University of Arts.
Under the mentorship of Mr Peter Low and Prof Chang Ching Yuan, Nelson’s passion for ceramics saw him taking part in major exhibitions while studying as he explored and interacted with artists to infuse new ideas and techniques in his works. His artworks have been exhibited in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and the US.
