Katherine Fu is a ceramist, educator, and writer invested in the intersection of historical and contemporary symbols—both natural and unreal—as seen in their surrounding cultural narratives. Raised in Maryland by Chinese immigrant parents, they work with ceramic craft as a framing device to highlight and bridge the disparate narratives and symbolism of their dual upbringing. Katherine graduated with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a BFA in Ceramics and a MA in Teaching + Learning Art + Design with a focus on craft as pedagogy in art education.
