Fan Yanting Puts Faces on Ceramic Mugs and Vases

Artist Fan Yanting lives and works in Taiwan. He creates minimalistic ceramic mugs, vessels, and vases with little faces on them that really make them special.

Yanting never plans which face expression he will put on a particular item. He just starts and sees where the process will take him. This has many advantages. It lets him express his creativity and inner flow in the best possible way and it also leaves room for interpretation when people are looking at his works.

“I empty my mind when I’m sculpting the human faces. I might plan the pottery shape and maybe where I’d like to position the face, but I don’t start with specific character designs in mind,” he told Neocha.
