Capstone Project
Creating porcelain is not just a technical process. It's also a process that combines emotion, creativity and craftsmanship. More significantly, it is a practice for me to turn what I learned into commercial value.
Background:
Before opting for this project, I undertook in-depth market research to understand the market demand for ceramics, consumer preferences, and the technology and procedures involved with ceramics creation. By looking further into these background situations and knowledge, I identified the main contents of the project and prepared a detailed commercial proposal.
