Throughout history, there have been countless firing methods for ceramics. The kiln can be simply understood as a shell that can keep heat in, so any material can be used: rice husks, straw, mud, hole in ground, and brick kilns. When I received the invitation to weave something, I decided to use recycled newspaper as a fiber to weave a shell and to make a paper kiln. By weaving a kiln, visitors will understand the basic principles of firing.

It takes a lot of time for me to have a deep understanding of weaving technology, so I chose to use the principle of weaving and combine it with my own profession to present a different concept of "weaving" to everyone.
