Canadian, American, and International makers and designers will be highlighted as well as artisans working in wood, metal, glass, precious metals, plastic and synthetic materials.

CSDA/CCAD Sundays: Expert Series Presents Reimagining Purpose: Functional and Cultural Dimensions of Chinese Ceramics with Dr. Chih-En Chen Sunday, January 12, 2025 - 3 p.m. (ET) Via Zoom.
Please join Professor Chih-En Chen who will reevaluate commonly accepted assumptions in scholarship regarding the function of Chinese ceramics. Traditional interpretations often assign specific roles—ritual, decorative, or utilitarian—to these objects, yet such classifications are frequently based on limited evidence. Through a close examination, this presentation considers the complexities of these ceramics’ intended uses and their broader cultural contexts. By questioning established views, this lecture seeks to encourage a more nuanced, evidence-based approach to understanding the multifaceted roles of Chinese ceramics in historical practice. Asian art consultant, Anthony Wu, will moderate the discussion following Dr Chen's lecture.
