| Porcelain painting is an art using porcelain pieces as canvas and color glazes as paints. The porcelain pieces have to be fired in a kiln at temperatures of over 800 degrees C. Different color glazes require different temperature settings and only the experienced artist can use the firing process to bring out the best in the porcelain pieces. Therefore experience sharing is beneficial to artists. |

| Volunteer porcelain painting teacher in the Cancer Center of Queen Mary Hospital since 2000 |
| Despite my busy schedule, I always reserve a day in the week to teach at the Cancer Centre of the Queen Mary Hospital. I started teaching there with the help of Jacqueline and SuChiu right after the second HKPPC Exhibition which was held to raise funds for the said hospital. During the SARS, the classes were discontinued but the students/patients there were very disappointed because they found porcelain painting therapeutic and helpful in their recovery process. We have become more than teacher/students, we became friends. Thankfully I was able to resume teaching with Shirley after the SARS suspension. Some days, we also get help from other HKPCC members as the student enrolment has climbed to almost 30 from 10. As porcelain painting requires firing in a kiln, I have to carefully ensure that their lovely painted pieces were transported back and forth from my home to the hospital safely. |

| Local Exchanges |
| In order that my fellow porcelain artists and students can enjoy the same benefits of meeting prominent artists, I actively promote the invitation of prominent artists, through the enthusiastic help of fellow local artists, to share their painting skills with us in Hong Kong. These become regular social events where artists exchange thoughts and ideas. See some of these occasions: |

A) Pansy with dusting techniques in 2000 |
