Notes
Serena Chu is a visual artist specializing in black and white contemporary ceramic tableware and also creates life-size colouring murals for events. Originally from Toronto with a BFA in mural painting and installation sculpture from York University, she is often experimenting with new techniques exploring different surface design like carving for her Geometric Mountain series, air brushing, or silkscreening. Her studio transforms from ceramic production work for sale to a classroom for students during any given week.
With her 20+ years of teaching experience from gymnastics, to cooking classes and creative workshops, she has a panache for creating a fun learning experience for her students. She teaches pottery, fluid pour painting, resin jewelry, soy candles, knitting and much more. Her passion is to make an art space that is accessible to all walks of life and is known for having classrooms full of laughter. By trade she is a graphic and web designer that moonlights as an artist in her spare time. www.chuchu.ca [chuchu.ca] [chuchu.ca [chuchu.ca]]
