Vancouver sculptor and founder of Hand Eye Ceramic Studio in Chinatown has over two decades of experience. Aimed at offering the tools and space to create ceramics, Hand Eye Ceramic Studio offers classes for newbies, private lessons for those looking for individual attention, and even memberships and rentals for anyone who'd rather go at it alone.

When he’s not sharing his passion for ceramics with eager students, Kemp uses clay to convey and record his interactions with the world. His sculpture, The Hungry Ghost II, has been selected to showcase at South Korea’s Gyeonggi Museum of Ceramic Design and was chosen as one of 61 finalists for the 2024 Korean International Ceramic Biennale (KICB), which will take place later this year.

The KCIB reviewed over 1,500 submissions based on their ability to articulate environmental, social, political, and economic issues, while also contributing to the conversation within the community about where ceramic arts could go in the future.
