About Chin

Chin started pottery as a freshman in college to release the pressure college life.  He started teaching the year after in 1983.  Over the years, he met many students who were able to use pottery to center their lives.  He believes the pottery studio should be a place of support through ceramics and the act of making art.  He has been teaching for over forty years in different studio including MIT Student Art, UC Berkely Student Center, and LexArt.  

Chin grew up in Taiwan and came to the US when he was 15. His work is influenced by both the oriental background as well as the modern US education.  He will throw classic forms as well as working on abstract sculptures. Through potter Jeff Margolin, Chin learned how to stretch an almost leather hard cylinder. In May of 2025, he enrolled in a two week intensive Korean Onggi making class in Soul, South Korea with renown artist Kaw-Kyung Tae.
