Mae Chan: Felted Creations & Connections 羊毛氈創作與聯繫
Christmas is just around the corner, and we would love to invite you to a creative journey of self-healing with HART artist-in-residence Mae Chan! Intimacy and personal relationships are recollections of warmth and confusion, in which we will explore the complexity and profound emotions through this tactile art journey. This workshop offers a space to express such emotions and reconnect with your core. The event includes a studio tour, a wet felting workshop, and a sharing.
What can you experience?
1. Studio Tour
Mae will share her artistic process with you, showing how she uses fibre to transform intimacy and memories into tangible forms. You are invited to explore her material collection and feel the interplay of emotion and texture in her work.
2. Wool Felting Workshop
Experience wet felting with Mae: tearing and layering the wool, you will feel how each fibre intertwines with your emotions. Through each press and stretch, you’ll give form to your tactile memories, bringing to life an art piece with emotional depth and texture.
3. Sharing
Once the creative work is completed, we’ll share our pieces, discuss the creative process, and explore the different aspects of intimacy. In an open, welcoming atmosphere, we’ll connect through shared experiences and uncover those deeper, unspoken feelings.
聖誕節將至，HART 匯舍藝術家 Mae Chan 邀請你參與一場自我療癒的創作體驗。無論你對親密關係感到溫暖還是困惑，我們都將透過觸覺與創作，探索那些難以言喻的複雜感受。這場工作坊將幫助你在情感的表達中找到出口，建立深刻的自我連結。活動包括藝術家工作室參觀、羊毛濕氈創作和分享。
有咩可以玩？
1. 工作室參觀
Mae 將分享她如何透過纖維將親密與記憶具象化，並邀請參與者探索她的私人材料收藏，感受創作中材料與情感交織的張力。
2. 羊毛濕氈工作坊
在 Mae 的指導下，體驗濕氈技巧：透過逐層捏合，搓揉羊毛，你將感受每一根纖維如何與情感交織。每一次的按壓與拉伸，都在塑造你內心的觸覺記憶，最終創造出一幅賦予情感與質感的作品。
3. 分享
完成創作後，大家可以一起展示作品，分享創作歷程與感受，探討親密關係的不同面貌。透過輕鬆的交流，我們一起尋找共鳴，挖掘那些不言而喻的情感。

About the Artist 關於藝術家
Mae Chan’s practice is a multi-disciplinary fusion of textiles, sculpture and craft. Rooted in the poetic, narrative, and artisanal traditions, her work reframes objects within different contexts of intimacy, boundary, and judgment. Playing with the semiotics of form and touch, she dissects subtle emotional shifts, leveraging the human form as a foundational metaphor.
Graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Masters in Textiles in 2021, Chan received the ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ Grant from the Arts Council England and the ‘Air Green Residency’ Grant from the Norwegian Textile Artists’ Association 2022. She was also a finalist nominee for the 2021 Ingram Prize and The New Craftsmen Award at Cockpit Arts (2021). Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including Thrown Contemporary (UK), London Craft Week (UK), Visual Arts Scotland (UK), Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop (UK), Young Space Views (UK), HART (HK), Kühlhaus (Berlin) and Søndre Green (Norway).
Mae Chan 的創作實踐融合了紡織、雕塑和工藝多個學科。她的作品深植於詩意、敘事和手工藝的傳統。她的作品將物體置於不同的親密、邊界與評判語境中，賦予它們新的意義。透過觸感與形態的語言，她細膩地剖析情感的微妙變動，並以人體形態作為基礎隱喻，探討情感的層次與複雜性。
Mae 畢業於英國皇家藝術學院碩士學位（混合媒材, 紡織）。她於2022年獲得英格蘭藝術委員會頒發的發展您的創意實踐獎及挪威紡織藝術家協會頒發的空氣綠色駐地獎。她的作品曾於國際展出，包括 Thrown Contemporary（英國）、倫敦工藝週（英國）、蘇格蘭視覺藝術（英國）、Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop（英國）、Young Space Views（英國）、HART（香港）、Kühlhaus（柏林）和 Søndre Green（挪威）。
