From the organizer:

Come to workshop – Polymeric Clay Art and Jewelry Creations, hosted by Nguyen Huong Linh.

Nguyen got to know about polymeric clay when she was traveling in the US about half a year ago. It did not take her very long to grow a passion for this interesting art material for its flexibility, easy-to-use-ness and spontaneity. During the process of material practice, Nguyen has had experiments with polymeric clay in as many methods, forms and applications as she could only to find herself most passionate and best at designing jewelry and accessories.

In the upcoming workshop, Nguyen will walk you all through the process of exploring polymeric clay (a.k.a oven clay or bakeable clay) and its application as in jewelry creations. The workshop also expects to take you back to your own free art space where you allow yourself to spontaneously experiment with colors, blending, shaping and waiting for the final products to literally come out of the oven.

*POLYMER CLAY is a type of hardenable modeling clay based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It typically contains no clay minerals, but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties, and similarly, the part is put into an oven to harden, hence its colloquial designation as clay.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nguyen Huong Linh was born in 1989, graduated from the Department of Architecture, Korea National University of Arts in early 2015. The dream of being a world traveler had driven her to explore many places around the globe before stabilizing in Hanoi. Each journey was both an opportunity to expand her experiences of life, to observe her own self, to reconnect with nature and also a chance to acquire more experience from the world of art. Art could be found everywhere. It could be those famous museums in the US with one of a kind collections, to the local fishermen who also are artists in Indonesia or the Japanese artisans with meticulous craft skills in Japan.

Nguyen, through her clay jewelry, sends a strong message of a liberal young character who embraces the freedom of self-expression, inspiration from nature and the language of architectural composition.
