Joe Li: Eternal Flame

EVENT DESCRIPTION

” I learned about metal craft and such as moulds, sanding tools, metal materials, wood, and various techniques; and these will enable me to create sculptural objects as I develop the concepts. I enjoy playing with materials and in the process I discover unlimited possibilities. “
