Why did I come to MSVA

I have always been interested in craftmaking since my childhood. Before I beccome a student of the Certificate of Jewellery Techniques program at MIT, I have learned porcelain painting for a few years,and without any prior knowledge about jewellery making. During 2 years studing, MIT has offered a full range of jewellery techniques for students,I have learnt a lot and it was very exciting and challenging experence.

At the beginning of 2 years ago, I was struggling with the using of sawblade. Now I feel the more I learned, the more I want to know about the world of every kinds of art. I once tried to make a jewellery piece with the combination of porcelain with my painting and metal. I intended to make the same stuff with a series themes. It inspired me to make some objects with different materials.

I am expecting this diploma course in MIT and I hope I can experiment with further knowledge and skills about every kinds of art working. I enjoy the related field about art and it already opened another window for my own life.
