Ju Huang

Ju worked at CSALT in the 2022/23 year while working on her MArch thesis under the supervision of Professor Boyle. Her work on the sensorial qualities of craft processes and the relationship between making, feeling and thinking culminated in an extra-ordinary thesis and an exemplary contribution to CSALT's collaborative project for the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery exhibition entitled Robotic Clay displayed at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in 2023. Ju explored natural materials such as wild clay and plant fibres in her poetic thesis work. Her intuitive research processes were guided by her hands-on knowledge working with physical materials and digital design combined with her professional experience as a pharmacist.
