ABOUT OF THE EARTH WORKSHOP
"of the earth workshop" (土也工作室）is started by local ceramics artist, Rebeka Tam, aiming to connect amateur ceramics makers and provides ceramics art classes in Hong Kong. Practicing ceramics will let your hands & body connects to clay, which is a highly tactile material to work with. Before becoming an "art", ceramics has had a long history of being a craft & technology that contributes to human heritage, economically, culturally and spiritually. The workshop would like to share this heritage and practice to whoever interested and wishing to be connected to ceramics. "of the earth workshop" believes everybody could enjoy the clay experiences and that clay would bring at least a moment of presence and mindfulness to us.
