In the image, there is a piece of ceramic designed by Jennifer McCurdy from a exhibition in 2008.In my view, the ceramic is a representation of contemporary craft. The reason I believe this is that Jennifer McCurdy is not only the designer of it, but she also executed it by herself. She knew the property and the quality of the material she is using. She intimately engaged with the process of making the ceramic from the beginning to the end. While she was fulfilling her idea, she put her emotion into it and keeping thinking about how to develop it. During the practice, she built up a special connection with her piece, which only designing can not achieve. Therefore, the ceramic is able to convey both McCurdy’s idea and emotion. Moreover, the way that she participated in the making process is the most important evident to improve that the ceramic represents a contemporary expression of craft.
