About

Muses Sze Mei Ting is an artist based in Hong Kong. She graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2011. In 2014, She was awarded International Master’s Bursary and studied MFA at the University of Reading (UoR), then obtained her Master’s Degree of Fine Arts in 2016. Since 2021, she has curated a project- ”The Workshop Guide to Ceramics by Hong Kong Ceramics Artist”, combining the research of Hong Kong ceramics art with a practical guide to ceramics. She now teaches the ceramics course in HKSC.

Sze focuses on the characteristics and texture of ceramics, “reproducing” various objects, thereby reconstructing the unusual order and relationship between objects. She has studied the knowledge of ceramics materials and different making and firing techniques, which helps her to understand and extend the potential of sculptural ceramics. Plants are always the inspiration for her to explore new forms as the 《Artificial Flower》 series. She develops her own craftsmanship that repeated actions by hand-building are the process of thinking and calming.

施美婷於 2011 年在香港中文大學取得藝術學士學位。在 2014 年獲英國雷丁大學的獎學金及修讀藝術碩士課程，於 2016 年取得碩士學位。2021年起策劃研究項目-《香港陶瓷藝術: 工作室導覽及創作指導》，探討香港陶瓷藝術與學習陶藝技巧。現於創意書院教授陶藝課程。

施氏的創作著重陶瓷物料的特性和質感呈現，將各種物事「再現」成平面和立體作品，藉此重構物事間不尋常的秩序與關係。她持續學習陶瓷原材料的知識、各種的製作和燒製技術，這有助她伸延陶瓷雕塑的可能性。而植物一直是她探索新形態的靈感來源，如《人造花》系列。她開發著自己獨有的工藝，製作中重複的動作是她思考和平靜的過程。
