Ray Chan See-kwong received a bachelor's and a master's degree from the University of Cambridge, UK, and a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) and Master of Fine Art degree from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (co-presented with Hong Kong Art School) in 2002 and 2007, respectively. He regards himself as a ‘clay experimentalist’ who enjoys exploring the characteristics of clay from various perspectives. His eclectic works are imbued with historical, cultural and everyday elements; he is eager to challenge the status quo of ceramic art through unconventional materials and processes. Over the years, he has participated in artist-in-residence programmes in Japan, Korea and Estonia. Chan is currently a part-time lecturer at the Hong Kong Art School and Hong Kong Baptist University, a member of the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC) and the Chairman of the Contemporary Ceramic Society (H.K.). His artworks are in the collections of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum.
