Collaborative Workshop with Clay: Between Us A Vessel Grows
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
1pm-3pm
$5.00 fee plus tax. Hosted by artist Xinwei Che 車昕蔚. Pinch pots are usually made by compressing clay patiently between fingers and thumb to build height and volume. Instead, featured artist Xinwei Che 車昕蔚 uses her entire body, for instance pressing clay between the palm of her hand and the curve of her knee, so that the resulting vessels carry the rough imprint of her form.  These can be seen in the Gallery’s current exhibition It begins with knowing and not knowing. In this workshop, Xinwei share more about her time-centered material practice and invites participants to explore making clay pinch pots collaboratively with each other. Sensing the thickness of clay between one’s own and another’s fingertips, a solitary act becomes a collective exercise in close listening, negotiation, and support.
