ung Yao Ceramics Design Studio Company was established by Amber Yoyo Lei in 2015 in Hong


Kong, after she graduated with a BA Ceramics from Cardiff Metropolitan Art & Design University. She developed a love of ceramics from a young age during her time at Mayfield School.


The Hong Kong Tung Yao Ceramics Studio offers a ceramics platform for all kinds of people who wish to share their love of ceramics. The company’s aim is to promote ceramic education and collaborate with ceramicists and artists in other areas of art and design around the world. Tung Yao has its own production lines, own tableware brand, as well as running workshops for the public. Another part of the company is the Jingdezhen Tung Yao Studio “ YI SEN” which offers the opportunity for an international Artist & Residency programme for students from around the world. Being in the heart of Jingdezhen - the porcelain city - students are able to learn about traditional Chinese ceramics production and practice in their own studio.


Apart from selling products in Hong Kong, we are also selling on Etsy for other countries. You can find us here www.etsy.com/shop/TungYaoCeramic

ince finishing my degree in Fine Art in 2008, I have been working as a professional artist, mostly in


London. Focusing on fine art projects to do with science, I was artist in residence in a department for cardiothoracic surgery in 2009 and in 2014 I collaborated with a neuroscientist as part of Queen Mary University's public engagement program. Other non‐science projects have looked at Ovid's Metamorphosis and polyphony. The Old Cornelian SUMMER 2016


In 2014 I was approached by Fr Nigel at St Dunstan's in Mayfield and I jumped at the chance to exhibit in my home village for the first time. The church itself is beautiful and much of the work I made was directly or indirectly inspired by the carvings, glass and metal work around the building. Nigel and I agreed that making the exhibition an 'installation' where you discovered the works exhibited alongside older permanent artworks (and the more modern Maggi Hambling sculpture that was commissioned for the church a few years ago) would be a great way to experience it. Oval-shaped drawings echoed the cartouches on the walls, jewel-like paintings of microscopic elements had their colours reflected back from the stained glass windows, a drawing of the ligature of the shoulder (often referenced in crucifixion paintings) was placed under the lamp in the pulpit and images of destruction gleaned from newspapers felt naturally 'Old Testament' in this setting.


I've had a long interest in the history of Christian art and the subtle layers of meaning suggested by each element and the insight of religious artists, so this exhibition, titled 'Microscopia: Worlds Unseen' presented a wonderful opportunity to explore many of the themes that I had touched on lightly in my work before but not had sufficient time to explore. You can see some images of how the work looked in the space at www.facebook.com/katehughesart

This year I am involved in a project at a London hospital in which isolated patients send me pictures of the single room they live in for weeks at at time; I then make drawings from the pictures and create 'stop motion' videos based on those drawings. The project also includes sound recordings of the hospital. The project ,'Island Collaborations', will be exhibited in London in September 2016. You can also see it on the blog: ww.islandcollaborations.wordpress.com


For more information about my work visit www.katehughesart.com - I would love to see (even more!) OCs at my future exhibitions. I would also like to thank Faye & (the Late Great) Paul Joy for bringing out such a love of my profession while at Mayfield.
