Eligibility and Duration
The Laichankee Studio Mentorship programme is designed for recent art degree programme graduates, specifically those who have graduated within the past 1-3 years. This six-month programme offers a comprehensive learning experience.
Areas of Expertise
Mentors at Laichankee Studio share their knowledge and work alongside mentees in various areas such as studio operations, clay art making, teaching, production techniques, curating, and media content creation.
Mentorship Support
Mentees will receive personalised mentorship support, with the option for monthly 1-on-1 mentor meetings or group discussions based on their preferences. Additionally, Laichankee Studio will hold monthly critique sessions to provide constructive feedback and help mentees refine their skills and projects. The mentor and studio assistants also provide ongoing support both in and out of the studio. Casual talks and feedback occur throughout studio time, not just during scheduled meetings.
Teaching Opportunities
For those interested in teaching, Laichankee Studio welcomes mentees to design their teaching plans and discuss them with the team. Successful plans will be executed with full administrative support and assistance in recruitment. For mentees with less experience in designing teaching plans, there is an opportunity to follow experienced teachers at Laichankee, allowing them to gradually enhance their teaching skills through studio or outreach projects.
Networking Opportunities
Networking is a crucial aspect of a successful art career. Laichankee Studio offers a valuable opportunity for mentees to expand their network within the Hong Kong ceramics and art community. This can be especially beneficial for young talents seeking opportunities and information.
Studio Facilities
Mentees will have full access to all Laichankee facilities across three studios, including kilns, wheels, slab-rollers, moulding areas, and glazing tables. Studio assistants and systematic arrangements support these facilities to ensure a productive working environment. Mentees are also welcome to store their tools and materials in a designated storage area within the studio.
Materials and Resources
Regarding consumable materials like clay and glaze, Laichankee Studio can assist mentees in ordering from local suppliers or providing small amounts of used clay. This support ensures that mentees have the necessary resources to focus on their creative processes and development.
Promotion Support
If mentees have any projects or exhibitions they would like to promote, Laichankee Studio can provide support through our social media channels, including Instagram and Facebook, to reach our followers and help publicise their work.
Priority Enrollment
Mentees will have priority enrollment in all Laichankee classes, including special firing sessions, tours, and studio visits, ensuring they have access to the full range of educational and professional development opportunities offered by the studio.
