'Little World'



Panoramics












Du Chau Workshop





I found Du Chau's workshop really interesting, I did not realize how, by taking a cast of an object (like the pine cone), you could replicate it so accurately. His work was also really pretty cool, and varied a lot in the different sizes and styles. Besides the pine cones that he showed us I really liked his 'mushroom-like' ceramics, and admire how delicately he managed to make them (espescially 'rome' and, 'a poem to mom').

I also found it really impressive how, as a Pathological Technology Conductor in Dallas, he decided to also pursue his love in art, and went to get his degree in ceramics after already graduating from medical school.
