Mia Yang
I graduated from OCAD University in 2021 with a major in Drawing and Painting. After spending years focused on two-dimensional work, I was drawn to ceramics for its physicality and the direct connection between hand and material.
Working with clay brings a different kind of focus—one that’s quiet and steady. I enjoy the grounded feeling it gives me, the way it slows things down and creates space to think and feel through making.
My background in painting helps shape the way I approach form, texture, and composition in three dimensions. I’m interested in how ideas can move from flat images into objects you can hold and use.
In class, my goal is to create a space where students can explore at their own pace, pay attention to process, and discover what working with clay means to them—whether they’re new to it or looking to go deeper.

With more than ten years of experience in both fashion design and painting, Carol Louie brings a quiet sense of harmony to her work. Inspired by nature’s organic forms and seasonal rhythms, her creative process is rooted in simplicity and observation.
Carol’s style blends the clean lines of Japanese aesthetics with a calm, understated elegance. Whether working with fabric or brushstrokes, she focuses on balance, subtle details, and the beauty of negative space. Each piece is an invitation to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with tradition, and with the present moment.
