Kimlan Phan, M1, Class of 2027
Ceramics has been my form of therapy since high school. Even now as a medical student, I continue to dedicate hours every week to the craft and experimenting with new techniques. I work from the KC Clay Guild, a local non-profit ceramics art studio where I also volunteer. Recently, I’ve been trying my hand at underglaze painting and throwing with porcelain, a notoriously finicky but beautiful clay body. The Gray Heron Bowl and the Dragon Bowl were inspired by Studio Ghibli movies, The Gray Heron and Spirited Away. Their films always leave me in awe of the beautiful art, and I tried to capture that in a new form.
